Larry Todd Woods

October 10, 1944 - December 21, 2019

Larry was born in LA on and raised in Palos Verdes, California. He completed his secondary education at Loyola High School in Los Angeles and spent a year in the Seminary after his graduation. He then went to UCLA for a year before moving to northern California to work as a successful builder and contractor. Larry was a life-long learner and all the family could rely on him for interesting facts about history, politics, nature and sports. His memory was incredible! He could remember dates of every kind of minutia and we relied on him for all the family's history. He enjoyed thinking games like bridge and chess, and when he played , his dry wit was sure to make the table laugh. In his retirement he moved north to Corvallis, Oregon where he enjoyed movies, current events and taking long walks around town. He could name any tree or bush on the OSU Campus. He passed away peacefully with the support of family, friends and hospice on December 21. He is preceded in death by his parents, Eloise and Joe Woods and survived by his sister, Joanie Davidson of Petaluma, California. He is also survived by cousin Katie Barker of Corvallis, numerous cousins and extended family in California, and his dear friend, Richard Barfield of Corvallis. He will be deeply missed. At his request no service will be held.
