Herbert Hood Obituary
Herbert was born on Aug. 1, 1932, to Dr. Clifford and Clara (Mitchell) Hood. Upon graduating from Adrian High School, Herbert went on to the University of Michigan where he obtained his Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS, MS) specializing in orthodontics. He had a dental practice in Adrian for many years and was also an instructor of orthodontics at the University of Michigan.
On May 26, 1956, Herbert married the love of his life, Barbara A. Atkinson, and they shared 60 wonderful years together before her passing in 2016. Herbert was a loving father to his children and treasured the time he spent with his family. His gentle and nurturing personality was reflected in the care he gave his young patients and the beautiful smiles he helped create.
Herbert loved being out on the water and found time to go sailing if the weather was good; he was also a member of the Devils Lake Yacht Club. In the summertime, Herbert traveled to the different county fairs in Michigan and judged horses in harness racing.
Herbert is survived by his children, William A. Hood of Manitou Beach, Kimberly A. (Steve) Williams of Sand Creek, James M. (Karen W.) Hood of Littleton, N.H., Dr. Richard K. (Hayley) Hood of Naples, Fla., and Dr. Scott C. (Raelynn) Hood of Saline; grandchildren, Marissa, Harper, Nicole, Rachelle, James, Daniel, Michael, Sue, Matthew, Steven and Oliver; great-grandchildren, Angela, Colin and Natalie; and his brothers, John Hood of California and Tom Hood of Adrian.
He was preceded in death by his parents; wife, Barbara; and a son, Herbert Hood, Jr.

I'm so sorry to read of Dr. Hood's passing. He was the first Dentist in my life and I must tell you he was such a kind and very gentle man. After he retired and I had to find another none could compare to his treatment of me and my teeth. Thank you Dr. Hood and may God give your family peace and comfort during this time.
