Harold Thomas Hood

Harold Thomas (Tom) Hood, 76, of Terre Haute, formerly of Brazil and Greencastle, went home to be with the Lord on Monday, July 27, 2015.

He was born Nov. 25, 1938 to the late Fred Orval Hood and Cynthia Pell Girton.

In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his brothers, Gerald Scott Hood, Kenneth Hood and Donald Hood; his sisters, Mildred Hertz and Norma Faye; and a grandson, Levi Hood.

He is survived by son Scott Hood, son Kevin Hood and Beth, son Terry Hood and Susie, brothers, Richard Hood and Robert Hood, sisters Delores Mercer and Rebecca Crowe, four grandchildren, two great grandchildren, several cousins, nieces and nephews, his dearest friend, Dora Harden, the mother of his sons, Liz McFaddin, and his dogs, Jocko and Sugar.

Tom was a farmer, truck driver, a school bus driver and loved all animals, especially dogs and birds.

He retired from Ames 4K Farms in Fillmore.

He was a member of the Elks Lodge, currently in Brazil, for 49 years.

He truly loved and was loved by all of his family and friends. He was the beginning of four generations of "Thomas" Hood's, so his name will live on. He never met a stranger and will always be remembered by his quick wit, smile and silliness.

Visitation will be held from 11 a.m. until 1 p.m. Thursday, July 30 with the funeral service to follow at 1 p.m. at the French Funeral Home, 421 E. National Ave., Brazil. He will be laid to rest at the Calcutta Cemetery.
