Pete Woods, 82, lost his battle with cancer on May 2, 2015. He was born on April 22, 1933 in Los Angeles, California.
He married Katherine (Kathy) Stevens on October 5, 1963 and had two sons, Greg and Steve. Kathy preceded Pete in death in August of 2003, shortly before their 40th wedding anniversary.
Pete was part owner of Delta Welding and spent his career in the industrial gas and welding industry. He retired from Airgas after a long and successful career in 1997. Pete loved the S.F. Giants and attended many games each season and spring training. He was very much into his classic cars and was a member, and past president, of the American Steel Car Club in Lodi.
He is survived by Greg Woods and wife, Melinda of Oregon and Steve Woods and wife, Denise of Lodi. He is also survived by the loves of his life, his grandchildren: Courtney, Morgan, Brandon, and Mitchell. He is also survived by his companion, Martha (Marty) Duplichan who we love and appreciate very much. Pete and Marty enjoyed many great trips and traveled extensively while they were together.
In lieu of flowers, the family is requesting that donations be made to the American Cancer Society to further research into this debilitating disease.
We appreciate all the prayers and concern that extended family and friends have shown us during this time of grief. Remember John 8:12… “Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying “I am the light of the world. Anyone who follows Me will never walk in the darkness, but will have the light of life.” HCSB
Pete knew his savior and is surely enjoying the Giants game in Heaven!
