Mr. Dennis E. Wood

April 15, 1952 - June 1, 2013

Dennis Edward Wood, 61, of Freeville, N.Y., passed away unexpectedly with family by his side. Born in Binghamton, he was the fourth of ten children of the late Leo H. and Jean E. Wood of Cortland. After graduating from Cortland High School, class of '71, he apprenticed at SCM Corporation working there for 13 years as a Tool and Die Maker. He then retired after 22 years from New Process Gear in Syracuse. Dennis will be remembered most for his infectious humor and admiration of nature. He had many life long interests that include reading, hunting, fishing, discussing early U.S. History, and attending historical reenactments. Always one to enjoy good times, Dennis especially enjoyed sharing those good times and stories with his family and friends. Dennis is survived by his three children, their mother Valerie, and eight grandchildren: Jason (Jessica Inman) Wood and Lucas; CPT Rosemary (Keith) Citizen, Anessa, Trever, and Aidan; Sarah (Michael) Lockwood, Daimon, Makayla, Sharla, and Madison; and his siblings: Valerie, Nadine, Stephen, Mary, Leo W., Christopher (Patricia), James (Emily), Joseph, and Rebecca. Many nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, and cousins also survive him. In addition to his parents, his grandparents Leo E. and Mary Wood, and William H. and Estella Currie predeceased Dennis. A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated on Thursday at 10 a.m. in St. Mary's Roman Catholic Church with Rev. Paul Alciati serving as celebrant. The family will be present to receive friends on Wednesday from 6-8 p.m. in the Chapel of Riccardi Funeral Home 69 N. Main St., Cortland, N.Y.
