July 5, 1945 — April 30, 2020

Rolfe Joseph “Joe” Woodruff, 74 of Saranac Lake (NY), passed away on Thursday evening April 30, 2020 after a long battle with multiple health issues.

Joe was born on July 5, 1945 in Dallas, Texas to Russ and Mary Woodruff.

Joe had a huge passion for riding and fixing his motorcycles as well as exploring the back roads while fishing and hunting. He loved traveling and had many adventures with so many close friends. Everyone who knew Joe loved him. But most of all he loved spending time with his grandchildren who were his pride and joy, a long-lasting memory and tradition for them all was blueberry picking when the season came around every year. He had passion for classic cars and loved driving his hot rod around town with the windows down. Joe also loved spending time at his favorite place in town, DJ’s Rustic Restaurant, a long tradition of Saturday morning breakfast that he’s since passed down to the rest of his kin. He made an impression on every person he met. He will be deeply missed by all.
