- When it comes to a Man like Woody Davis, another Earth and another Heaven will have to come and go before a more beautiful Human being like him, will ever exist again. All the people of Corbett, Oregon will miss him like the air we breathe. We Love Him ! Now Always and Forever . . . X O X O

- It is a wonderful story in which a person is showered with affection and services while they are still alive. There are many like him however they never know the appreciation until they are dying or dead and are eulogized at funerals.We should all do our part in making sure people like this get their aknowledgement while they are alive. God bless him and others like him!

- This story made me cry. The song Beautiful People by Tim McGraw could have been written about this man. God Bless Him.

- If you are interested in reading/knowing more about Woody and his son, Clint, please go to www.CorbettConnector.com and read their detailed interviews. Woody has been one of the most cherished members of our small and unique community. When I sell homes to people moving into Corbett, I always say- "You are not just buying a home, you are buying into a community that is like NO other." Corbett's only problem? Not ENOUGH homes for those that are wanting to move in- very few ever want to leave!! Woody is the PERFECT "example" of what Corbett is really all about. If you want to hear the unique story of Woody's coffin, check out the interview of Tony Jacobs, Woody's brother-in-law. ENJOY!!

- Saw this story last night and touched my heart. A common man with an uncommon story. Interesting how the reporter could find this kind of salt of the earth story. We need more stories like this, stories of people who understand what it means to tirelessly give of themselves, and make that their life's mission. Woody Guthrie would have had a friend like Woody Davis. God, bless this man and bring him peace and rest, as you call him home.

- This story is so touching! We love Steve's stories and try not to miss them each week, but this one was unforgettable. My daughter and me didn't get tears in our eyes - we full out cried. What a great man and great community. The casket put us over the top, but him being able to see all the love around him before he passes was wonderful. Steve Hartman thank you for the story - keep em coming!

- Thank you so much for sharing this story. I cannot stop thinking about it, and I want everyone to know about it. What an amazing man. My heart goes out to Woody, his family and the community. I want to give Woody the biggest hug and thank him for letting us see his story. He is truly an angel and a gift.

- This article causes reflection. I often wonder if some of the children I carried to the rear in combat zones even remember the JOE who carried them . The good of it all is they were saved and and the bad alot died. That is war.I would have been honored to be this mans' friend and know someone like him . People say I give away too much . I say I don't have enough but people who fall through the cracks of society first are deepest in the hole I try in my older age to reach deep into those cracks and be damned if the US government doesn't have red tape for those attempts.We can all want to be like Woody Davis and some would just like to meet someone like Woody.Don't stop on either that person just might be right next door.

- Why is it that we only see what's really important when life is ending? While we're well and going strong, we think we need to amass fame and fortune; but when death is near we then realize that the good we've done is all that will be remembered and treasured. And, alas, so it will ever be.. . . .

- What a wonderful man and story.
This reminded me of end of the movie "Band of Brothers" where they mentioned how the soldiers had lived their lives after the war.
It said George Luz had returned to Providence, Rhode Island and became a handyman and raised a family. It said that when he passed away, 1,600 people attended his funeral.
We should all be so giving and so lucky. - Reply to this comment
