May Woody's friends and family be comforted in the bittersweet memories of the times they shared together. Woody was a hell of a character. I only saw him a few times, but I know he was a TRUE friend to people like Locker.

The newspaper article is a complete and total fabrication!
The Park Service has my written statement and that wasn't it!
If someone from the Park Service released that they should be fired imediately. If they did not the reporter should be.
A helmet would have made no difference. It eas an ynsurvivable and instantaneously fatal fall.
When it's time, I'll discuss it all.
Now ISN'T the time!

Very sad and shocking news.
Beyond crossing paths every so often and sayin hi, I did not know Woody. But he was always friendly and enthusiastic. And he was always climbing.
Is it true, as I heard, that he was a big opera fan and would blast Aida or whatever was the opera de jour in his mini during his frequent runs from Riverside to Josh?
I have met his partner, Alfred Kwok, a number of times. I am glad his injuries are not life threatening, but this must be a terrible ordeal. I hope he is ok.

Oh my god! I'm speechless. This is so sad.
I'm really going to miss the antics of the Locker & Woody Show.
Best wishes to all his friends and family.

I sit here with my hand over my mouth. I'm in shock. Oh so so sad. My condolences to Woody's family and friends. I hope that someone is with Locker too. This is just the worst news possible. Awful.

"No one has truly died so long as someone who truly loved them remembers them."
[-Rabbi Dov Ber, a mystic of the Hasidic traditon]
I believe this to be true; yet it is a heartbreak to not have those we love still close at hand.
All of the legions who loved Woody are deep in my thoughts.

i'm so very sad, that i can't even make a poem for you...
i remember wishing you well, from you leg injury...
and i remember you being kind, and wanting to read my books...
and i remember you were a teacher and many more than us must love you...
i never get to meet folks, but i got to meet you online...
and i will miss you very very much...
may the good lord see to it that you see the love from all the folks here....
dear family of woody... i send my condolences and prayers... i pray everday for all of the folks here, so we must trust that things fell into place for woody, when he died...

I mostly lurk here but had the chance to climb with Woody on a couple of occasions.
This very sad news and my best wishes go out to his family and friends.
