Richard Woods, aged 83 of Monterey, CA, passed away following a long illness after a major stroke. He was born in Union, South Carolina April 22, 1937, the son of Elizbeth Gilliam.

If you asked a hundred people who Richard Woods was, they’d all give you something different. Richard was gentle and kind, loved plants, sports, people, and most of all his family. Richard was a man that would give you the shirt off his back. He was a very serious Businessman in Monterey County for most of his life. He was the sole ownership of Evergreen Landscaping, served as an active member of Seaside and Marina Kiwanis 40 plus years, Alumni of Monterey High School in Track and Field, and much more. He served in the National Guard as 1st Lieutenant at Fort Ord for 19 years from 1957-1975 with an Honorable Discharge. Richard was well known in the Monterey County area.
