Don Clifton Wood

My sympathy goes out to family and friends of Don Wood, whom I had the honor of knowing while I worked at Providence Hospital, Portland, Oregon.

To Elder Wood's family:
We in the Atlanta Temple loved serving with your Dad and with Sister Wood. They add a spirit of joy to the work. We all feel much richer, much more blessed with our association together in those Camelot times. Thank you for sharing with us. We look forward to serving with him again.

As my mission president in the Northwestern States Mission, now over 50 years ago, he taught me so much and exerted such an influence in my life that I will forever be indebted to him and to Sister Wood.

My grandpa has an amazing story. It is hard to decide what his legacy will be, because so many things describe who he was: Marine Sniper in the South Pacific during WWII, Father of five, Husband, Grandfather, Missionary, Patriarch, Temple Sealer, Business Leader, and Friend. But I think the thing he would hope we would remember is that he is a follower of Jesus Christ and that tonight when he returned home to his Maker, he did so having a clear conscience, having lived his life in service of...
