My late sister, Eileen, was in auto mechanics with Woody. I remember meeting him standing with my sister in the hallway. He was bigger than life. . Woody was my very first boyfriend. He had the biggest most beautiful smile!! I can't believe he's gone. After the past two days I have seen a family with unconditional love for Woody. Amazing! I know all of our loved ones are in heaven with smiles on their face. My heart goes out to Mrs Cribb, Carol, Bubba, Ricky & the rest of the family. Love you all!

Ms. Cribb, Carol and Ricky,

My first thoughts of Woody, and most of ours I'm sure, are his big, infectious smile. Fond memories of Felkel Field and your family, and GCHS. We never have the proper words to share at these times. Just feel comforted knowing that all our thoughts are with you, and Woody remains in our hearts.

A candle lit for you Woody. May you shine in the heavens as you did here on earth. I have fond memories of you in high school. Always had a great smile. Prayers and condolences for the Cribb family in their time of sorrow.

Every time I think of you Woody, I think back when you use to throw that speed ball by me. Coach Hudson would say to me. When Woody's hand comes over the top and right before he lets go of the ball I want you to SWING. Because if you don't the ball will have already passed you. And he was right You will truly be missed by more people that you could ever imagine. Thank you Woody for touching my life.
