Obituary of Donald Leroy Hood

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the sudden passing of Donald “Don” Leroy Hood, 77, of Alton, NS  on April 1st in Truro.  Born on March 03, 1942, he was the son on the late Alex and Annie (Spares) Hood.

In Don's early years he served as a police officer with the O.P.P. and the Sudbury Regional Police.  Upon returning to N.S. he started a new career as a highly respected industrial electrician, working in various mines throughout Nova Scotia and Ontario.  Don was a loving husband, father and grandfather.  He was truly a man with a big heart who was always there for anyone who needed anything.  He especially enjoyed meeting people and looked forward to the morning get togethers at Stewiacke Tim Hortons.
