Would just like to thank all the fanciers who have passed on there condolences with the loss of my dad,have had phone calls,texts visits and and messages from fanciers on basics which were read out from basics by my niece to all the members of the hood family and my mother and brother were overwhelmed with the regard my father was held in by fellow fanciers,I have just popped up to write this as I have been staying with my mum,I don't know how I and my family will recover from this but I know dad would want us to get on with it,at the moment the funeral looks like it will not be until next week,and I will post up when I have the date and times. Many many thanks from the hood family.
