Obituary of Kenneth G. Wood, Sr.

PRESTON HOLLOW – Kenneth G. Wood, Sr. “Woody”, passed away on Saturday November 4, 2017 at home, surrounded by his loving family. He was born in Catskill on May 19, 1939 to the late Leland and Pearl Rockefeller Wood. Woody worked as a truck driver for Van Auken Express, had served on the Board of Education at Middleburgh Central School, and had served as a councilman for the Town of Rensselaerville, and was a life member of the Tri-Village Volunteer Fire Company. Woody was an avid sportsman, enjoying hunting, fishing, and trapping. His true passion was antiques and he was an antique dealer for over 30 years.
