Other than his mother and father, he is also survived by his wife, Karen Dunaway Woodall, two daughters, Kennedy Woodall and Madison Brooks of Richmond, KY; one sister, Jessica Woodall of Lexington, KY; two brothers, Jamie (and Christy) Woodall of Somerset, KY, and Josh Woodall of Somerset, KY; and his paternal grandmother, Sybil Woodall of Somerset, KY. He is also survived by a very special pet, his Labrador retriever, Hemingway.

Jimmy was a businessman, an avid diver, and loved the outdoors. He was a fun loving person who enjoyed life, and was a kind person who will be greatly missed by all who knew him.

Funeral services will be held at 1:00 p.m. Tuesday, November 10, 2009 at the Beacon Hill Baptist Church with Rev. C. E. Jacobs officiating, burial will follow in the Somerset Cemetery.

Greg Snowden (left) and buddy Jim Woodall (center) completed rebreather training with world-famous explorer Richie Kohler (standing in back) in Key Largo, Florida. They spent several days diving reef and shipwrecks while learning the skills and techniques to be safe rebreather pilots. You will see Greg and Jim in the local waters a lot as they increase their rebreather experience; they intend to pursue even more advanced training with Richie in 2009. Congratulations guys!

Richie Kohler is in the dark blue shirt in the center, Greg Snowden to the left in the light blue shirt, and Jim Woodall is behind Richie & Greg in the gray shirt.

Greg Snowden and his dive buddy Jim Woodall recently completed the TDI “Advanced Wreck Diver” course with none other than the world-renowned wreck diver, explorer, and instructor Richie Kohler. Greg and Jim traveled to New Jersey for an intense immersion in the techniques for safe wreck penetration. They encountered cold, dark, low-visibility waters and raised their skill levels to complete this course with one of the masters of wreck exploration. It took a great deal of time, effort, and resources, but it was worth it. They plan to continue training with Richie, including rebreather work in the future. Congratulations Greg and Jim!

HILMA HOOKER WRECK DIVE VIDEO

Don’t miss our cookout and sale on Saturday, May 30th from 11 – 3. We will have lots of great food and games. We are even giving away a brand new Aqualung regulator!!!

Thankfully, Mares has re-introduced an upgrade program that lasts until December 31, 2009. If you have a Dacor regulator made in the USA prior to 2000, you can bring it in to an authorized dealer (New Horizons), we will send it to Mares, and they will send your choice of either a Prestige 12 or a Voltrex 22 system for a reduced price. Here are the details:

MARES PRESTIGE 12
Upgrade Program Price: $200 (normal retail is $375)
- Diaphragm 1st stage
- 1 High pressure port, 4 low pressure ports
- Compact & lightweight, ideal for travel
- 2nd stage Mesh Grid reduces freeflow
- Nitrox compatible to 40%
- VAD & DFC performance features

MARES VOLTREX 22
Upgrade Program Price: $300 (normal retail is $450)
- Diaphragm 1st stage
- 2 High pressure ports, 4 low pressure ports
- Moisture Retention System reduces dry mouth
- All-temperature compatible, including cold water/ice diving
- Nitrox compatible to 40%
- VAD & DFC performance features

You must turn in your Dacor 1st stage and primary 2nd stage, which will be sent to Mares. They do not trade-in your gauge console or alternate air source/octopus. So if you own a Dacor alternate air source/octopus, we will offer you a greatly reduced price on a new alternate/octy on a variety of the brands that we carry.

Again, this upgrade program is only good until December 31, 2009 or while Mares has a supply of the Prestige 12 and Voltrex 22 units, so come in soon if you want to take advantage of this offer. You can call us at (859) 277-1234 with questions.
