Walter "Woody" R. Woods

He graduated from Princeton High School in 1969. His father-in-law, Hank Metzger, introduced him to and mentored him in asphalt construction and in 1976 Walter and his wife opened A-Asphalt Company, which they ran together until his retirement in 2011. He was a member and former Trustee of FOE 427, Ambassador for Makers Mark, and former president of the Evansville Knife Club. Woody was a chef, enjoyed baking, and loved to golf. He was funny, outgoing, full of life, and will be sorely missed.
