Woodson E. Dryden

As a young insurance adjuster in Beaumont I negotiated settlements with Woody's clients many times. He was always very kind and patient with me. Out of all the attorneys I have ever known Woody was and always will be the one that I respect the most in my 42 years working as an insurance adjuster.

I had the pleasure of working for Mr. Dryden from 1987 to 1994, and worked with Sheila during most of that time as well. My sympathy to all during this time. He gave me my first job in the legal field, and 26 years later I am still at it. Thank you for the opportunity Mr. Dryden. You will be missed!

My deepest condolences to the Dryden Family and Shelia. I had the privilege of working with him and Shelia many years ago. He was a wonderful boss whom was witty, comical and a stern lawyer.

Regret missing the tribute to Woody. I am in Houston with family. He was a certified member in good standing of the Center of All Knowledge. He hooked me many times on wagers and he always took my dollar. He said he would leave it in the casket and I could have it back. I wouldn't bet on that. We were fraternity brothers of different ages, practiced law for over 50 years and we will miss him.

Cousins Judith, Carol, Kim, Chrissy and Erich, I am thinking of you in this time of loss and I hope you will accept my apology for missing Uncle Woody's funeral. I will always remember him as the good dad he was to all of you, as well as a role model of commitment and excellence to the legal profession. He will be missed.

The round table of knowledge will greatly miss Woody. mike matheny

My sincere condolences to the Dryden family. 'Woody' was accomplished and devoted to his profession. I was pleased to have known him and his family.

To all of my family. Uncle Woody was a kind man with a big heart. He was always there for anyone who needed help. I will miss my my Uncle as I miss my father Malcolm deeply. He had a wonderful sense of humor. May he rest in peace with the Angels. My sincere condolences to all of my family on the Dryden side.

Love
Marjorie Ellen Dryden

So very sorry for your loss. I met Mr. Dryden and enjoyed speaking with him on a couple occasions. Be blessed.

My family and I would like to extend heartfelt sympathies to the family and special friends of Mr. Dryden. I was able to work for Mr. Dryden during my early years as a paralegal and greatly value all I learned from him. He was definitely an inspiration and was full of wisdom and wit! He will be greatly missed by so many.
