Dear Jimmy,
I miss you more every day… your smile, your laugh and your great sense of humor, your caring, support, and consideration, your goodness, your thoughtfulness towards every person you met, your ability to bring everyone together and make each person feel important and special, and your love of life and fun.

You are always in my heart.
“Love me” Ei
Dear Jimmy,
I will always remember when you gave Eileen the photograph of you two on your trip. I thought that was the sweetest gesture…I still do. You brought such love into your sister’s life…I remember her talks about your adventures in Road Runners…sleepovers at your apt…..your need for the one ice cream that was difficult to find in nyc…all the joy she found in you…
Your kind spirit lives on through your family, because everyone that knows them thinks so very highly of them…they make everyone feel so loved…i think of you always…we love you
Hi Woody,
Even though I only knew you through Jaime and Lindsey, I think about you often. I’ll always remember your friendly smile and how you would go out of your way to make people feel special. Your friends aren’t the same without you. Miss you… Milissa
Woods,
You just don’t know how many lives you impacted-from your family and friends to those you barely knew. We all will remember you for that uncanny ability to bring people together and that special feeling that you bestowed on us when you were in our presence. Those two rare traits you possessed will always be admired, cherished, and yes, envied by all of us…
I miss watching you rip someone apart in their face and then get away with it just because of that sly smile.
I wish I could call you right now and discuss how pitiful the Knicks are.
I long for a pint with you at Carnegie Hill just to catch up on our lives.
So many memories of you occupy my mind and heart everyday. It’s hard to encapsulate your life. All I know is this: if I live to 100 and impact as many lives as you did, I will know that I lived a fulfilling, wonderful life.
Jimbo,
You and I started together at Cantor Fitzgerald in 1997 and not a day goes by that I don’t think about the long nights we had working on the desk and the many beers we had afterwards. The four years we worked and hung out together were not enough… but I know I will see you again. I loved you like a brother Jimmy and I can’t describe in words how you touched people in this world. You’re all heart Jimbo and I know you and my brother Charlie are in a better place watching over all of us here… I will never forget you.

I will always remember Jimmy with a warm welcome. He always made me feel like such a part of the family when I was with him. I remember enjoying and celebrating life with Jimmy in the little things like – hanging out in Geneseo, Oswego, at concerts, in the Hamptons, and in NYC at his apartment (which he loved so much). Jimmy’s wonderful heart, free spirit, and lust for life always drew people close to him. Jimmy you touched so many people’s lives just with your smile and warmth. You will forever live in all of our hearts. I love you Jimmy.
Woody,
You are one of a Kind…Truly the Best. They don’t make them like you anymore. I really miss talking to you everyday, when i would give a call over to Cantor to talk with my brothers. Rest easy Jimmy, because we know your in Heaven.
Jimmy,
We can’t believe we are here writing you this tribute. It just seems like yesterday we went to the Jets home opener. We have never met anyone that could make one feel so comfortable at a gathering where one knew so few. Not many people have that attribute but you sure did. We are so happy that you and Kelly were able to come to our wedding, although we still wonder whose side of the church you sat on. We love you and you will always be in our hearts, never to be forgotten.
Love,
John and Fiona
Jimmy, my love. I miss you more with every day that passes. Nothing will ever fill the hole that was burned in my heart when they took you away from me. For as long as I live, I promise to carry your spirit with me and give others what you gave me. I await the day that I get to see your sweet smile and those beautiful eyes. I know you are with me and we will meet again for you were and will always be my true love!
Until we meet again…
Jimmy,
It’s really hard to express my thoughts in words when the words just don’t exist. I find some comfort in knowing I’m a better person today because I got to know you but feel cheated because our time together was too short. I think of the times we spent together this summer at the wedding, out to dinner in the city, and on Fire Island; they are all great memories and I’m so glad I got to spend those times with you. I listen to the stories told by Eileen, your parents, Kelly and all your friends and feel honored to say that you were my friend but am deeply saddened by the thought of what could have and should have been. You have touched so many lives which is the sign of a truly special person. You touched my life and set a standard which I will try to live by. You made this world a better place. I hope you know how much I love your sister and your parents and I will take care of them until we see you again. I’m also in the Jets fanclub now just for you. You are missed.
Love,
Al
Woodsy,
It’s hard to believe you are really gone. You were always a happy and honest guy. So full of life. I was a pleasure getting to know you in NY before I got transferred to the Dallas office. You were always somebody that anyone could count on. I know you are up there in Heaven looking down on us and we will always wish you were still here with us. You were just beginning to live life and they took you away from us. I pray for your family and friends that they are able to find peace in their hearts during this time of change and sadness. We will never forget you Jimmy!!!
Jimbo,
Although we only knew each other a short while, I will always regard you as a dear friend. In fact, to this day I still get choked up everytime I stare at the empty skyline when I go over the bridge on my way to work in the morning. You were a real stand up guy and are greatly missed by everyone around you. Truth is, I feel that I know you even better now from getting to know your friends and family as we helped console each other. I can’t tell you how happy I was that I got the chance to stop by your place and see you one last time for Monday Night Football. The only thing I regret is that I wasn’t able to get you sauced up enough to go into work late the next morning. I will never forget you buddy.
Your friend,
Michael
Dearest Jimmy,
You will never know how much you mean to me. You will be missed. I will never forget the times we spent together. I miss not be able to talk to you every day. I love you Jimmy.
Dearest Jimmy: When I went to vist your grave on the anniversary of your death, it was still hard to believe you were gone. In the two years that we knew each other we grew to love you more each day that passed. We were so happy that Kelly found you, and had you in her life. Arnie and I would have been proud to call you our son. You had the most wonderful qualities any parents could wish for. Rest in peace sweetheart. Look over Kelly and keep her safe, as you will always have a special in her heart and ours.
We love you….Phyllis & Arnie
Jimmy,
It has been so long and yet I feel as though it were just yesterday when you walked through the front door, stolled into the kitchen, with your backpack over one shoulder, FDNY hat on, and the sound of your voice saying hello. On those nights, I would make sure to grab the seat next to you at Friday night pizza. I could sit here forever just writing down all the wonderful memories you have given to me and Aunt Jane, Ei, Uncle and Auntie… But if I could tell you just one thing, it would be that you have always been and always will be my big brother…but that’s how it has always been. Even as a child, I knew how lucky I was to have you and Eileen. If I can be half the person you are, and touch half the people you have, then my life will be truly worthwhile. I am so proud to love and be loved by you. You give me the courage to follow my dreams and live for the moment. You have forever touched my life, and will continue to, for I know you are always with us. You are our guardian angel. Keeping visiting me…I love you…or as you would say, ‘love me’…
Jimmy “Woody” I Still think of you often.
April 26, 2006
I met your Mom and Aunt at the Tribute Park in my hometown Rockaway Beach a few weeks ago. It was so nice meeting them and sharing our grief together. It always gives me comfort to meet families of 9-11. I hope you and Charlie are having a blast up there.I miss my brother so much and hope you guys took charge on that terrible day. My brother Sean was telling me how nice of a guy you were. He enjoyed working and partying with you in NYC. So as a favor to me, please hang with my brother Charlie. CHEERS TO YOU BOTH!! 🙂 Good Bless the Woods Family!
Jimmy, i saw your family on 9/11/06.I must admit it was emotional for me and my family knowing how close you, sean, and charlie were. Losing our brother is one thing, but also losing a special friend like you breaks my heart and i think about your family often..I went to mass on the night of 9/11 and the the priest said (Father Corcoran) “Some people say time heals the pain, but i think that is the the biggest misstatement in life” I am not the most religous person in the world but he was right..There will never be a timeframe on the pain of losing people like Jimmy Woods, but thinking about the way you enjoyed life will always puts a smile on my face. I miss you “WOODY”
Wherever a beautiful soul has been, there is a trail of beautiful memories.
We will always remember.
Been very reflective today as the ten year anniversary looms and just wanted you to know that even your long distance friends were touched by your life. I always remember how classy of an individual you were and how good of a friend you remained with your classmates. Its the same set of values that I will try to instill in my daughter as your model along with Robbie Mckiernan’s that I will always remember. I wish your loved ones and family the best as I know the two of you are looking down upon us Nanuet Knights and smiling.
