On Dec. 4, Richmond lost a good, decent and caring citizen, Dr. Willie Woodson, longtime pastor of First United Presbyterian Church in North Side who came out of retirement to pastor Trinity Ghanaian Presbyterian Church.
Dr. Woodson was both absorbed and engaged at many levels to advance the dream of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. He was kindhearted and contagiously gentle. He was keenly aware of the needs and hurts of his fellow man. He often served in the role of mediator, helping competing persons and diverse verses to become blended and committed to work for the common cause.
