WOODS - Charles Robert (Bob) Woods, 81 years old, passed away Sunday, January 31, 2010 at home, surrounded by his loving family.
He is survived by his high school sweetheart and wife of 61 years, Blossom; son, David Woods (Sharon) and daughter, Darlene Daniels (Harold); four grandchildren, Jason Daniels (Christina), Melissa Daniels, Eric Woods and Amber Woods; and his sisters, Petty Pearce and Dorothy Bottoms.
Robert was born on September 11, 1928, the son of Bernice and Fred Woods. After living in Miami for 54 years, he moved to St. Cloud, FL in 1994. He graduated from Andrew Jackson High School in Miami, FL in 1947. Robert was employed for 23 years by Pan American World Airways, during which time he and his family lived in Afghanistan for 2 years, starting an airline for the country. One of his most enjoyable jobs was with Southern Air Transport. If you wanted to find Robert, he would be in his 4-car garage full of machinery, tools and hardware, working on a project. With his engineer’s mind, Robert could fix or make anything, including an elevator in his home. For the past two years, you could see him riding his electric scooter around St. Cloud, searching garage sales or ending up at the lakefront to watch the boats, being an avid boater in his earlier years. Robert frequented The Catfish Place for fried snapper, The Village Inn for Wisconsin cheese soup, and the Koffee Kup for hamsteak, all in St. Cloud.
The family wants to thank Cornerstone Hospice of St. Cloud for such tender, loving care and compassion in his last days. Family and friends will miss Robert's love, friendliness, good humor and kind deeds.
