Mr. Hood was my customer at the cleaners near Campus Commons. We talked about the challenges of having a sick wife and I put him in touch with a friend of ours in England who also was coping with the same thing. Although they never did more than talk by phone, I think they consoled each other. Your dad was a gentleman.
