Garry Woodall

By Geoff Homer

Mr Garry Woodall
 
Gary, aged 64, died on 24th April 2009 after a long, painful battle against cancer and is survived by his mother, sister, brother, two daughters and nine grandchildren.
 
Forced into retirement from his building and building management business by his illness (and 18 months of chemo-therapy), he still found the energy to enjoy his motorcycling - I'm sure the folk on the October 2008 Scottish Tour will remember his zest for living, his enthusiasm and his sense of humour and fun. He will be very much missed by his very many friends in the Welsh seaside village he had made his home for over 30 years.
 
The cremation will take place at Gornalwood, Nr. Brierly Hill in his birthplace in the Midlands on 6th May.

 

Garry, from all at the Sport Tourers MC, it was a pleasure to meet you in Scotland 2008, Geoff is quite right, if we hadn't known you were fighting such a battle, we would never have known, such was your inspiring outlook on life. RIP my friend, you will be missed.

A thank you from Garry's family

The Scotland Tour 2008 DVD is one of the most treasured possessions the family of the late Garry Woodall could have. Garry did this tour knowing it would probably be his last chance to ride his prized ZX12 any distance again.  He was well looked after by you all, especially Geoff Homer his "Biker Mate" and very good friend.  He really enjoyed this tour and looked so well, you would never have guessed he was so poorly.  He played his DVD many times and listened to the music tracks often during the later stage of his illness, gaining much comfort from this.  So much so, two tracks were produced for the funeral service.
We have now been sent copies of the Scotland tour 2009 DVD, which was dedicated in memory of Garry. We can now enjoy watching Garry do one of the things he loved so much - Bike Riding.
The tribute DVD will always be special to us all.  At the moment some of us still have tears as we watch (happy tears Steve!), but this will pass with time. We will always have treasured memories of Garry, as well as the Sport Tourers MC Scotland 2008-2009 DVD's to keep forever. Many thanks to Steve, Rob and all the members of the Sport Tourers Club.

God Bless you all

The family of the late Garry Woodall
