After working at the Federal Reserve Bank in Pittsburgh and the business office at Carnegie Mellon, Woodie was appointed to the controller’s position at Alfred University in 1970. He loved his home in Alfred, where he raised five children, and remained a close member of the Alfred University community after his retirement. For health reasons, he spent the final years of his life in Portsmouth with his wife of 16 years, Susan “Sue” Clinger Lange.
