Condolence from Rich Fletcher on October 24th, 2019 7:34 AM

As the son of Bob Fletcher, I had the pleasure of being a part of “Woody and the Main Street Jug Band”. Woody was the cornerstone of the band with his sweet piano playing. Woody would play by ear and memory and his expertise on the keys was second-to-none. I often think of those days and how formative they were for me. Woody was a large part of showing how important it is to share the love of music with others.

Condolence from Bob & Joanne Simpson on October 25th, 2019 8:43 AM

My condolences to Craig, Scott & family:
I met Woody in 1971 at the “In n Out” store during college years. He had the ability to make us all happy
from the ” fruits of the grains” he sold @ $8.00 a 2-4 case :) with a friendly greeting. It takes a special person to deal with the public, he was one of them, and we appreciated it. He may not have been a farmer, but did a great job on his flower gardens on Riverview. I know from his many contacts & friends he will be missed.

Sandra, and the Davidson families,
We were sorry to hear of Woody’s passing. I didn’t know he had been at the PG .
He and Shirley spent good times while in Florida. It was lovely to have met them both.
A fond memory I have of Woody. Our son was taking golf lessons at Exeter Golf course . We went to pick him up when we noticed he was playing a round with Woody! He knew him through his grandparents. We were very touched by that.
Rest In Peace, Woody. Shirley is waiting. ❤️❤️
