Good morning, SW Elks and others
It is with deep sadness that I have learned from David Stultz, that
PER Milton Woody Goad, Roanoke Elks Lodge #197 has passed from our midst.
Woody's obituary is as follows:

His service was held on Monday, April 26th.
It is not generally the practice that a PER's obituary be
distributed, but this is an exception. Brother Woody was a very
kind, gentle, and dedicated Elk. Whenever he attended a Convention
or such, you could always expect kindness to come forth and a
handshake to follow shortly.
When serving Hampton Lodge as Exalted Ruler, 1986-1987, Brother Woody
coached me for the 11 O'Clock Toast Contest. He was that kind of Elk
and life-long friend. We need more Elks like Woody Goad.
Expressions of sympathy may be sent to:
Mrs. Beatrice K Goad
2673 Parkview Drive
Vinton, VA 24179-1613
May this giant of an Elk rest in eternal peace.
Fraternally,
Bill Tennis
