George (Woody) J. Wood
Passed away Saturday, April 1, 2023 at UMPC East Hospital at the age of 85. George passed away peacefully after many years of painful suffering with Cancer. By his side was his beloved Wife Justina (Judy) Wood of 65 years, his son Mark and Daughter-in-Law Diane.
George was always so proud of his humble beginning being from North Bessemer, PA. He was the last of the Five (5) Wood brothers he would say. George, missing his brothers always, can finally be with them again. And all who knew the “Wood Boys” know that heaven will become a much louder place.
Daughter, Julianna who passed away in 2019, will be there to welcome her Father into Heaven. George is also survived by his grandsons, Joshua and Daniel Clare, sister-in-law Lorraine Wood, and many nieces and nephews.
George loved golf, bowling, softball, the Steelers, and just life as a whole. He spent many years bartending at Little Tony’s Restaurant in Downtown Pittsburgh. He was filled with laughter, jokes and so many stories of his life. He also spent more that 40 years in the sign business.
George was most proud of his military service. In the Unites States Army, George became attached and was a member of the 101st Airborne Division. Missing his Airborne jumps he celebrated it skydiving one more time.
George was loved and respected and will be genuinely missed by everyone who knew him. George will once again find his place in the sky.
A Memorial Service will be held at a later date.
