Woody passed away of a sudden stroke on February 5th, 2019.

Woody in 1981

Since 1983, Woody was a probabilistic risk assessment (PRA) consultant, manager, mathematician, and technical advisor for large organizations, both public and private.

We prefer to remember him as a good cook, a bad surfer, a terrible singer, a great father, and a loving husband. Woody was anything but normal, and we wouldn’t have had him any other way.
