Not sure what to say?

Fair Winds and Following Seas, Shipmate! I didn't know you personally. However, I do know your son David. I once worked for him during my time with COMPHIBRON 7. From what I know of CAPT Angood, I knew he was raised by a fine man, you.

You will certainly be missed by many. I'm positive I'll be meeting you in our Lord's Navy. Until then, keep the sails taught and oceans calm. R.I.P. Mr. Angood.

Dear Judy and Family,
My thoughts and prayers are with you as I celebrate Art's life. Wow, what a man, who accomplished so much. He truly lived the definition of a Renaissance man. Our paths intersected in so many areas -- foundations, eduction, young people, the well being of Battle Creek and church.

I have always admired Art and the way he tackled an issue or problem, collaborated with everyone involved and got good results. He truly was a role model for the thousands of...

Our community was blessed to have Art and his great public service. I was blessed to have known Art.

My condolences go out to the Angood Family.

Mr. Angood was a great principal at Southeastern Junior High School. I have fond memories of Mr. Angood. I remember when he ask me to do a speech on school spirit during an assembly. I was very nervous, but with his support and cheering me on I made it through with shining red & gray colorsGO HILLLTOPPERS!!! He would walk through the halls interacting with the students giving us encouraging words. It was not uncommon for him to pop into the...

I had the honor of working with Art Angood on a number of ares in the Battle Creek area, particularly The development of Miller College. He was a true professional in every thing he touched. Always looking the best wave to serve. He will be missed by many in the area. My condolences to Judy and the family

My sincere condolences. (middle child of James (Arthur) Angood and Donna Angood)

Mr. Angood was my principal at Southeastern Jr. High, I thought he was a very understanding and caring man. He was easy to talk to if you had a problem. There isn't to many people like him and he will be missed.

Art and Judy were among the first to welcome us to our home on Barrington Circle in 1999. Early on Art shared with Terri some blue mountain corn flowers from his flower garden. They continue to bloom every year by our dogwood tree and serve as a reminder of Art's generous heart. Joe will never forget a purposeful meeting with Art on the street that was a recruiting effort to join the inaugural Board of Miller College. It was the realization of Art's noble vision. To be part of this...

Mr. Angood (Art) was Assistant Principal at Northwestern Junior High when I was a student. His personality, love of education, and sincere caring for students was evident for as long as I can remember. He was the one who brought so many of us back to Battle Creek Public Schools to begin our careers as educators. Even after my 34yrs of service to BCPS, and 15yrs of retirement, he will always be Mr. Angood to me.
