Sending our caring thoughts and sincere sympathy to Kathleen & Family

Cam always had tons of story involving him and Woody and all of them made us laughed. I will always love the time we spent with your whole family in Flin Flon. Woody taugh Rory and Rhiannon to fish with a small piece of hockey stick and a sting and it worked! We had a wonderful time and we will always cherish that. Love to you all

I thoroughly enjoyed getting to know Dave at our monthly “Gentlemen’s Breakfast Club” meetings. His stories of the “old days “ were engaging and entertaining. I was looking forward to hearing more. I will miss you Woody. PS: You were the only true “gentleman” in the group! My sincere condolences to your family.

Condolences to Kathleen & Family. Met Woody when he joined the family & enjoyed our Family gatherings with the Davies in Balcarres. He will be missed I am sure for his sense of humor & always a very kind gentleman. Rest in Peace. ❤️

Rest in peace, you were always encouraging and a pleasure to be with.

I will always remember Dave as one of the most kind and caring friends . We teased each other other our hockey Teams. His Hans, my Leafs

Recently I was honoured to present him with a Storm championship ring to which he smiled and said he loved it. Dave was a champion too me since the day I met him. I miss you my friend!

I will miss you at our wonderful breakfast gatherings that we have enjoyed for the past several years. And if I recall correctly, it was your turn to buy 😊

I am so sorry to hear of Woody s passing. I didn’t see them often- usually at a Pelican gathering. Lots of laughs and and memories.

Rest in peace my friend.

Woody was part of my extended family growing up, or at least in my eyes he was. He played a special role as part of my dad’s ‘teacher friends’ that cannot be replaced. I will always remember his laugh and good natured spirit. My husband Chris and I are sending the entire Woodward family, especially Kathleen and the girls, our love and condolences.

I met Woody at the U of S in 1971. We enjoyed great times at U of S playing intramural sports, skipping classes, playing cribbage and partying like it was 1969.

Despite the fact that we didn’t see much of each other since our university years we managed to stay in touch . I had the opportunity to teach with Woody in Lashburn early in our careers before he moved on to Creighton. I can still remember those late night cribbage games where he always managed to take my hard earned cash.

My last meeting with Woody and Kathleen was at a Grey Cup celebration in Toronto where we had dinner together and rehashed old times.

I considered Woody as one of my dear friends and I was saddened to hear of his passing.

My condolences to Kathleen, his daughters and grandchildren. Rest in peace my friend.

I taught with Woody in Creighton for many years. Such a simple statement which entails so much. He was a valued friend at work and away from it and a kindred spirit in many ways. Co-councillors for the STF, staff room zcrib games, fishing trips, wine making, even a road trip to Regina for the 1995 Grey Cup, but here’s a thing I appreciated about him greatly that perhaps people are unaware of. We frequently shared classroom time and perhaps because I am indigenous, over time I became convinced Woody always saw the child not any label. He loved kids - all kids. I’m sure he was unaware I was observing him and further, learning from him, sometimes for what he didn’t do as much as for what he did. I thought of him as “colourblind” although it went deeper than that. Creighton School was a better place with him in it. So was the town and because he influenced so many kids, in some ways the future. I’m going to miss him. I’ll love him forever, miss him for always. Deepest condolences to Kathleen and Woody’s entire family from June and me.

We haven't known Dave for long but so much appreciate his willingness to step in and help. He was organizing the SSFA golf tournament and helped us scheduling the bocce ball teams. He will be sorely missed.

The loss of my dearest friend is devastating. We met at the U of S in 1971 and enjoyed many cribbage game with Chick Kennedy, these 2 "older" guys took me under their wings and kept me on the straight and narrow ( wrong ). One night after a Huskie hockey game ( it was very cold ) we didn't want to walk back to Seager Wheeler. The opposing teams bus was running in the parking lot warming up and no one was in it. We boarded the bus, Woody donned the drivers hat and we had a cozy ride home. We left the bus ( still running ) in our parking lot. I can't remember what ever happened to the hat.

Family gatherings

Golfing ⛳️

We met Woody in about 2013 through his wonderful wife, Kathleen. We enjoyed times with them both in Arizona and in Regina. Woody was an extremely positive man with many enthusiasms and interests. We could talk with him for hours without running out of "material". He was a strong yet gentle, guy among gals, look on the bright side man who didn't waste time on what-if's, but only on what-cans. He lived his life fully and generously, and we were honoured to know him. His wife, Kathleen, was a devoted, loyal, supportive, and positive yet practical partner who supported Woody to the max, and who made his life possible and enjoyable to the end. Bless them both.

The time Woody, my brother Dick and Nick Ashfield BORROWED my dad's car and headed to Florida forSpring break. Dad caught up to them in Pittsburgh.

So many good times - Loved Woody's sense of humour, no cook Friday"s and his patience with me on the golf course. He truly loved 'his girls' and especially Kathleen. With a heavy heart, I say good bye to my friend. Sending love and comfort to his girls!
