Kamas-   Woodrow T. Tull, 102 years old, passed away peacefully on the morning of December 4, 2016 at Elk Meadows, in Oakley, Utah.

He was the widower of Alta Richards Tull.  They were married in Salt Lake City, Utah on October 23, 1943.  She preceded him in death on May 13, 2005.  They shared 61 years of marriage together.

Born in Thomasville, Missouri on August 28, 1914, Woody was the son of George Washington Tull and Florence Wright Tull.  At a young age, his family moved west to Wyoming.  No stranger to work, Woody labored in the oil fields at Teapot Dome, was a foreman on the Taylor Ranch near Kaycee, and worked on the Duschesne Tunnel which first took him to Kamas, Utah where he met Alta.

Woody enjoyed his ranch, his horses, tinkering with anything mechanical, and telling stories from his past.
He is survived by several nieces, nephews, and great nieces and nephews.
