Guestbook
Woody Determan, legend from the Softball fields and all around nice guy – rest in peace!
For the past 13 yrs. Dave has been the best neighbor anyone could want. He has helped us with many projects, and just last week he helped me set up my new microwave, and also helped me get a new lightbulb in a ceiling light. He kept my driveway free of snow for several winters now, and he would not let me pay him for it. He reminded a few weeks ago that since I snuck a small Christmas gift into his card last year, and since we didn’t have much snow for him to do, that he wanted me to know he would make up for it this year. I told him not to wish too hard for that snow!
You will be forever missed Dave!
A true gentleman, that always provided a kind smile and several hits during every game we played against one another. Rest in Peace Woody!
David was my friendly neighbor. We would chat and wave hello from time to time. He enjoyed practicing golf putts in his back yard even when the grass was longer. His kindness extended to clearing my driveway of snow during the winter that I had a broken wrist. He refused to take payment.
Rest in peace, David.
I worked with Woody at Woodcraft for 25+years. We would often play cribbage at break time, lots of good memories. My deepest sympathies.
