Together they shared more than 20 years of marriage raising their families and creating lifelong memories. Woody was proud to be a 32nd degree mason at the Blanchard Masonic Lodge. He loved being outdoors, riding his tractor, visiting the pond, and feeding the fish at his homestead. Woody had many talents, including crafting & woodworking, flying his own airplane, and entertaining family & friends by singing & playing guitar. He loved making people laugh, and when he met someone new, telling them his favorite jokes.
