I have known Dave for many years and consider him one of the most knowledgable adjusters around, certainly a wizard on construction. Janice and I both love and respect  him and have appreciated our friendship with him very much.

Dave, we all wish you a speedy recovery and have you in our prayers. Hang in there buddy.

I have not been able to find our how Dave is doing, has anybody heard anything about his current condition.

He has been released from the Hospital as of July 29th. I hope he is recovering satisfactorily.

I called for Dave this morning and was able to talk to his wife. Dave passed away on Thursday, July 30, so his wife told me. She was much too emotional for me to ask about his funeral. I have informed Roy of this. He also has been trying to find out Dave's status.

Janice and I have lost a very dear friend and compatriot. We have know Dave Hood for many years. We have wined and dined with him and got to know a fantastic human being. We constantly shared information and humor. I am really going to miss our monthly calls to each other. We really love the guy. I have been the only one to inquire about his health and condition, so his wife said, and I find that very sad. This man had character and knowledge beyond many of us. This industry has lost a fine human being and adjuster. May his soul rest in heaven. See you shortly, Dave.

Janice called and talked to Darlene, Dave's wife. According to her, there will be a private immediate family only memorial service this coming Friday night. In late September, they plan to take a sailboat out, which was something Dave really enjoyed, and drop bottles with messages to celebrate Dave’s life.

She also said she wished some of Dave’s friends would call, so I have shown the home number above. She also asked that the family be kept in your prayers.

Darlene said that Dave had asked that if anything happened to him and if anyone wanted to make donations, to do so in his name to: American’s Feeding Americans, Emergency Caravan, which is part of the “Feed the Children Program”. They are based in Oklahoma City, Ok. And can be contacted on line at,
