A tragic, senseless murder. If your murderer is still alive, I hope he reformed once released, IF he was ever released and if he wasn't, I will not feel bad.

God Bless you, Brother on this sad anniversary and may your continued rest be ever peaceful.

Thank you for your 50th anniversary comment.
Dad enlisted in the US Marines in June or July of 1941. He served on 27 islands in the Pacific during WWII.

My father, Brice Leon Woody, campaigned relentlessly for the betterment of society through the betterment of law enforcement. POST (Police Officers Standards and Training) was his dream and creation. He also worked for years to get LE unionized so they could refuse to be strike breakers and bullies for the rich without being fired. Dad wanted entry level to the academy to be a 4-year degree in either sociology or psychology. The POST legislation was passed with only a requuirement for High School or GED--which at least was better then zero.
I have recently contacted POST and am trying to grt them to permanently display his memorial plaque on their entry memorial wall.
I also want to do a video about his life and particularly his police work so officers can view it and learn something about Police history and what standards Dad envisioned for all LEOs.

Agent Woody,
On today, the 50th anniversary of your death I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice-not just as a LEO but for our Country as well when you served in the USMC during WW II. And to your family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.

Railroad Police agencies seem to be slowly becoming a thing of the past, which is a travesty. For all of those who still serve to protect one of the main things that made America what it is today, and for all who preceded them, we, as a nation, owe our thanks.

Agent Woody, on this 50th anniversary of your passing after being brutally shot, I wish to thank you for your service not only with the Railroad, but to our nation in WW2. You gave your family reason to be proud.

I can only hope that the punk who murdered you saw the error in his ways and came out of jail a new person and straightened his life out.

God Bless you, Brother and may your rest be eternally peaceful.

Your heroism and service is honored today, the 45th anniversary of your death. Your memory lives and you continue to inspire. Thank you for your service. My cherished son Larry Lasater was a fellow police officer who was murdered in the line of duty on April 24, 2005 while serving as a Pittsburg, CA police officer.

Time never diminishes respect. Your memory will always be honored and revered. I pray for the solace of those who love and miss you for I know both the pain and pride are forever. I hope to someday meet your family at a NORCAL COPS function.

Rest In Peace.
