I am sorry to learn of Tom's passing. I worked with Tom in the late 80s. He shared produce from his wonderful garden, companionship and love with my family. He provided corn stalks for our annual Halloween party when my children were small. We shared meals and stories. Tom offered support and sound counsel. His gentle and loving nature and quiet humor inspired nothing but love. So sorry that we let time and life distance us from this beloved friend.

It is with great sorrow hearing of the passing of Mr. Hood. His gentle ways and acts of kindness will be missed. Mr. Hood was our Neibor for years. As a child, my sisters and brothers and I would go and pick apples at his home, he was our neiborhood hairdressers for all the elderly womem. Such a wonderful and kind Man and will surly be missed. My family (The Bartons) are sending special blessings at this time. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
