Jack Lloyd Woods
d. March 31, 2011
Mr. Woods served his country proudly in the United States Air Force for 6 years. In the Air Force, he learned mechanics and how to work on equipment.
Mr. Woods drove a truck for many years before working as a custodian for the CR School District, where he quickly advanced to Chief Custodian. He enjoyed going to auctions and fishing. He was very good with his hands, and could take anything, especially clocks, fix them up and have them looking like brand new.
Mr. Woods was well known for his culinary skills. Along with his daughter Brenda, they could cook up a storm. He will be fondly remembered as fun loving, easy going, and a jokester. He was very family oriented and good hearted. He loved doing things for other people. During the holidays, he would buy extra turkeys and give them out to families in need. All year long at auctions, he would buy toys and stuffed animals that he would save to pass out with a friend to children at Christmas time.
He was preceded in death by a brother and sister – Eugene “Gene” Woods and Josephine “Jo” Jones.
He is survived by his loving wife of 52 years, Freida Woods; sons Bruce C, Woods of Camden, James L. Woods of Dover, Michael D. Woods of Camden; daughters Kathy E. Woods of Camden, Brenda A.
