This is a draft of obituary to be published in the Richmond Times-Dispatch today of Woody Landers. He was a well-known magician to many in the D.C. VA. MD area. "Roger "Woody" Landers passed away tragically Monday, May 14, 2007. He is survived by two brothers, Thomas M. Landers, Richard N. Landers and wife Anne Marie Landers; one sister, Mary L. Taylor and husband Robert P. Taylor; three children, Mindy L. Sawyer and husband Seldon, Wade C. Landers and wife Edwina, Tami S.

He is pre-deceased by his mother and father, Maurice and Ursula Landers and his twin brother George Cauley Landers. 1. Woody was a master magician and for many years was a member of the International Brotherhood of Magicians. He had an enthusiastic fascination with magic for which he served for over 50 years. He was a charter member of the Society of American Magicians Williamsburg Assembly. His specialty was eye-popping sleight of hand, and Woody lectured at many magicians' societies, clubs and conventions. Amateurs and technically-skilled alike sought him out for advice and intructions. If you sincerely loved the art of magic, you became Woody's friend. The magical fingers are now still, but the man and his wonderful talents will never be forgotten. A graveside service will be held at 3 p.m. Friday, May 18, 2007 at Mount Calvary Cemetery, 1400 S. Randolph St., Richmond, VA, 23220. In lieu of flowers donations may be made to one's favorite charity. See what's free at AOL.com. |
