of this beloved Kerrville resident; and

	WHEREAS, Born March 11, 1917, in Rawlins, Wyoming,

Jonas Brothers Furriers in New York City, later returning to 

Rawlins, where he opened a successful taxidermy shop, meat

	WHEREAS, Mr. Woodbury arrived in his adopted hometown of 

Kerrville in 1974 and established another taxidermy studio which 

thrived under his skillful direction; and

pursued his passion for sculpture, creating an impressive canon of 

western and wildlife bronzes; and

	WHEREAS, Known for his charm and wit, Lloyd Woodbury was a man

greatly missed, his spirit will live on in the memories of the many 

people fortunate enough to have known him and in the inspiring works 

that he leaves behind; now, therefore, be it
