August 20, 1954 — August 7, 2023
WOODALL, Richard Morris age 68 of Norwood MA died peacefully surrounded by his family, on August 7th after a long courageous battle with a neurological disorder.
Sweethearts since they were 14 years old, he leaves behind his beloved wife Susan (West) Woodall. Loving father of Richard and his wife Lindsey of Plainville MA, John Woodall of Franklin MA, Jillian Woodall of Franklin MA. Son of the late Richard and Louise (Falcione) Woodall. Son-in-law of the late Ann West. Brother of Doreen Deflaminio and her husband Santine of Walpole MA, Betty Lou and the late Paul Byrne of Norwood MA, John and his wife Kathy of Walpole MA, Michael of Duxbury MA, Joseph and his wife Judy of Norfolk MA, and Karen Luque and her husband Chris of Virginia. Brother-in-law of Peggy (West) Collins and Bobby West. Proud, loving papa of Emma, Richard (the 4th), Logan, Valerie, John, Antonio, Nicolas, and Jaxon. He is survived by many loving nieces and nephews, extended family near and far, and devoted lifelong friend Billy Grasso.
Ricky was a lifelong resident of Norwood MA, where he was the legendary little league coach of the Pirates. A retired employee of PJ Hayes, where he spent many years working alongside his brothers and sons.
Gaining a love of drum corps through his parents with the 21st Lancers, Rick devoted his life to volunteering in the activity, especially with the Boston Crusaders Drum & Bugle Corps. Rick was a hardworking humble leader of the Boston Crusaders and fleet crew, but most importantly he was the donut king! Rick truly loved all of the kids that marched in the corps and they loved and looked up to him. He was a proud member of both the Boston Crusaders and MA Drum Corps Hall of Fame. Most recently Rick was awarded the high honor of DCI volunteer of the year, recognition that meant the world to him.
The outpouring of support from the members of the Striking Beauties boxing for Parkinson's will never be forgotten.
Ricky was a family man. He loved nothing more than being surrounded by his family.
A husband, a father, a brother, a papa, a GIANT!
