John Woods was a gentleman that I had the opportunity to meet and work with.  I visited him at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver in 2010 and he took part to the 4th World Congress on the Square of Opposition in the Vatican, May 5-9, 2014, presenting the wonderful talk "How Globalization Makes Inconsistency Unrecognizable".  He supported the creation of a Logic Prize in Canada and the World Logic Prizes Contest. For more details see section 5 of my paper "Cats that are not cats" dedicated to him.  His interest for paraconsitent logic is explained in the paraconsistent newsletter below.
