Bob always gave me chances! I remember always helping him up at the store pulling movies, stocking pop. There is not a day that i don’t think about you. It breaks my heart to believe that he is already gone. Thank you everyone for your prayers. RIP Bob, i miss you. I love you.
Charles fawn memories of Bobby: Bobby wanted a baseball glove when he was in the 8th grade. Charles was a senior, Charles decided to save his school lunch money for two weeks and buy Bobby the glove. Bobby was so happy when he got the glove from his big brother. Charles and his friend Jim would wrestle with bobby and call him the “Great Persqually” of course this would make Bobby angry. Charles loved seeing Bobby at the Argosy and talking with him. Also remembering all the great family gatherings in Wellsville. Bobby was also a great basketball player when he was young. Betty’s niece Kathy had a crush on Bobby, but he never asked her out on a date. Overall Bobby was a man of Steele and Velvet, He was strong and yet so loving and giving to his family. Rest in peace my dear brother, I love you, I miss you.

I want to express my dearest condolences to the Woods family and friends. I spent alot of time as a kid, buying and trading sports cards with Bob at his video store in Ks. He was a good guy. My thoughts and prayers to his family and friends. Rest In Peace Bob.
I don’t have the words to express what I am feeling. It’s hard to believe that my big brother is gone. Bob was allways there for me. My thoughts and prayers are with his family.
