My memory is bad these days, but I do remember the first day I looked out my window 30 years ago and wondered who is that moving next door, that day change my life forever. Most people have good neighbors but not many can say they are family. And that is exactly what the Woods family became to me and my family. I always remember when pawpaw got home from work Brittany, my sisters and I would see him pull up in his rig from our window and we would run to greet him with hugs. Richard and Linda always took care of us when my mom was working and always made sure me and my sister were safe. Even after we grew up they always took care of us and wondered how we were during. I will always be grateful for that. God had a plan having this family move next door to us, at the time I didn't know why, but it didn't take me long to realize he was joining two families into one. I love you pawpaw, mawmaw, Brittany, Christi, and Rickie. We have been through a lot in thirty years and been there for each other threw it all, I plan to continue this is the future. I LOVE YOU ALL Pawpaw just for you ( and only you) I will cheer on OU (but you will have to forgive me on that one game a year that I can't LOL) but you will always be on my mind. RIP PAWPAW I LOVE YOU

I will always fondly remember catch'n crawdads and lobsters with Richard and the rest of the family. I saw a doormat a couple years ago that immediately made me think of him; it said, "doorbell is broke, yell Ding Dong real loud". He was such a kidder, I just know it would have made him giggle.
