Dear Peggy, Children, Family, Friends.
Jack Hood, is one of our Heroes! We believe these words describe Jack's love, kindness, and great compassion toward life and his legacy.
"Do all the good you can,
by all the means you can,
in all the ways you can,
in all the places you can,
at all the times you can,
to all the people you can,
as long as you can".
Jack, You are the best there is,
The best there was,
And the best there ever will be.
Bob, Jason, Jamie, Hague
P.S. Now, we all know, you also have the;
"Largest paper route in Heaven"! GOD BLESS

Peggy, I left Valpo after Roadside burnt down but have kept in touch with all my friends from there. I hope you will remember me? As soon as they hear about Jack they notified me right away. I respected Jack not only as a boss but as a friend and I have met many people in the suburbs in Chicago that have know both of you. Small world. Please Except my sincere sympathy in Jack's passing. Your family is in my prayers. Please pass that on to all the kids. My heart goes out to all of you. Donna K. Barton Darien, IL

Peggy and family,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. I hope you can find some comfort in knowing that Jack left behind a legacy that has forever changed my life. He was my hero and I had such a great love and respect for him. I lost my father at a very young age and many times Jack shared with me life lessons that I greatly appreciated and respected. He will forever hold a special place in my heart. May God continue to bless your family and offer you comfort in this difficult time.
Love,
Doug and Susan Bailey

To the only boss I ever had. You are the man.
When Bud Stauffer hired me out of a bar in 1989 (just after I got my butt beaten) I thought I was just passing through another job. But Jack saw something in me that I still don't see today.
Jack I love you boss.
And you never knew exactly how crazy I was but now you have a vantage with my mother in heaven to see how actually nuts I am.
To the hood family Jeff, Doug, Ms Peggy love you quys. What a great family.

To Doug, Stacy, Greg ,Jeff My heart goes out to you and your Families. Jack was a really great guy, I'll always remember all the fun we had when Mom,Dad, Kay and I would come for visits. Jack was more of a brother than a cousin to Kay and me. And I really do wish I'd have gone and visited more often. He was always there when you needed him, He loved his Uncle Bill and Aunt Tiny. GOD has a very very wonderful man to help him out. And please remember your dad will always be there for you!

My heart is heavy tonight, due to the tragic traffic fatality of this wonderful man and a dear friend. Jack Hood found my dad to have high integrity and work ethic. Subsequently, Mr. Hood hired my dad to run one of his print media delivery operations. When my dad became to ill to continue the job, Mr. Hood was kind enough to let my (then husband), take over the delivery operation. When my then husband and I were trying to purchase a home, Mr. Hood loaned us the money to begin the purchase. Mr. Hood gave my mom and dad financial help, even after my dad had been gone from Mr. Hood's operation for a while.
Jack Hood didn't just "talk the talk". Jack Hood "walked the walk" as well. He practiced what he preached!
As I stated above, my heart is heavy tonight! However, I do know that Mr. Jack Hood was one of my life blessings. God is in the blessings and miracle business, and God showed it by putting Mr. Jack Hood in my, and my family's, lives.
Jack Hood proved that our "founding fathers" were correct. If you work hard, and do it in the manner that God said to work hard, you will be a success and be a very loved person.
Jack Hood was a very loved and respected person, particularly with my family.
