Robert Lee Woodman’s Life

May 15th, 1924-March 17th, 2013

Robert Woodman passed away peacefully at his home in Port Orchard, Sunday morning, March 17, 2013. Bob came into the world May 15th, 1924 in Seattle. He was the second child for his happy parents, Jim and Pearl Woodman. Soon the Woodman family home was filled with the joy of Koy, Bob and Paul.

From an early age it became clear that young Bob’s future would be in the building and repair most anything mechanical. In addition, Bob had natural knack for music. Bob married Mildred Smith and began long career working for various Ford car dealerships as gifted mechanic. By the time the family had grown to five children Bob and Mildred moved to Vashon Island, Washington. Bob and Millie loved living on their small farm with their children, RVing and playing blue grass music at various events on the Island.

After the death of Mildred, Bob married Mary Gleason of Seattle and continued with his passion for family, RVing, collecting antiqued automobilia and playing

music with the Island Blue Grass Band “Bob’s Garage Boys.” Toward the end of his life Bob and Mary moved to Port Orchard, Washington where he filled his time with playing music, friends and working in his garage.

Bob was pre-deceased by his second wife Mary and his brothers, Koy and Paul. He is survived by children Rodney Woodman of Port Orchard, Linda Woodman Brockway of Maple Valley, Norma Woodman of Tacoma, Elaine Woodman Jewett of Gig Harbor, David Woodman of Enumclaw and many grandchildren and great-grandchildren. At Bob’s request no service will be held.
