Carl HOOD Obituary
Carl joined the U.S. Navy in 1940 and was a proud Pearl Harbor Survivor aboard the USS St. Louis. He later worked for the US Postal Service and as a general contractor.
Most importantly, he was a member of the Pearl Harbor Survivors Chapter 2, a lifetime member of the American Legion Post 368, Denbigh VFW, and Loyal Order of Moose, Warwick Lodge 1711. He served each of these organizations proudly. He formerly served as Governor of the Moose and was devoted for many years to bingo service.
Carl was preceded in death by his wife, Faye Huggett Hood; his sister, Edna Creel Harville; his brother, William C. Creel; and his son, Thomas Hubert Hooper.
He is survived by four daughters, Kay Hood Quedding and husband, Louie, of Las Vegas, Nev., June Hood Poitras of Selma, N.C., Carolyn Counts and husband, Jim, and Suzanne Hooper, all of Waynesville, N.C.; two sons, Carl Hood III of Micco, Fla., and C.J.

Counts, Tina Romero, Tony Darnell, Nicole and Johnathan Harvey, and Tommy Hooper; and five great-grandchildren.
The family would like to offer a special thanks to Dr. Kannarkat and the staff at Riverside Cancer Center and Riverside Hospice for their kindness and care. They would especially like to thank Megan Turnage, LPN, with Riverside Hospice and express their gratitude for the care and love given to Carl from his dear beloved caregiver, Cheryl Sloggie.
The family will receive friends from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Sunday, Jan. 9, 2011, at Weymouth Funeral Home. A celebration of Life Service will follow at 1:30 p.m. at the funeral home chapel by the Rev. Dennis Worsham. Interment with military honors will be in Peninsula Memorial Park.

Our family is greatly diminished by the death of our dear Uncle Carl. He taught us how to live with joy, loyalty and bravery. He taught us to look on the bright side of all things and be thoughtful and generous with others. I am so lucky to have had him in my life, and I know that he and mother are watching over us all.

I want to first and foremost thank Carl for giving me my beautiful and lifelong friend Kay (his daughter). She's a gift I will always treasure. My heart just aches for all of you. It's so hard to let go, but take some comfort in knowing he's young again and free from pain. He's now living in his mansion in Heaven. Amen.
