A proud Air Force Veteran and combat medic, Gary remembered his service to this nation fondly and often shared tales from his time abroad. He shared a lifetime of stories from a lifetime of adventures, and his family is grateful to have the opportunity to learn about a life so well lived. Gary met his wife, Doreen, while they were both stationed in Anchorage, Alaska.
After retirement, Gary loved woodworking and crafting with Doreen, and spent many years creating wooden angels and Christmas houses to share with friends, as well as sell at various craft shows. They loved their time spent together crafting, and often included friends and family in the process.
In addition to his parents, Gary was preceded in death by his wife, Doreen Woods. He is survived by his three children, Nicole Woods, Adam Woods, and Amanda Woods, and their families, including three grandsons. He will be greatly missed by his children, though they are at peace knowing that he and Doreen are together again in love and spirit. Per their wishes, the ashes of Gary and Doreen will be laid to rest by family in Alaska, where they met many years ago.
Funeral Service will be held at 11 AM on Friday, February 4, 2022 at SCHOEDINGER NORTHWEST, 1740 Zollinger Road, Upper Arlington, Ohio 43221, where family will receive friends from 10 AM until time of service at 11 AM.
