Douglas HOOD Obituary

thank you for the short time I got to know you better: ) we were both born in Te Kuiti and I didn't realize I was a year older than you R.I.P.

Great memories from a year shared as flatmates and 'students' at uni in Christchurch 1972. And an Easter trip to Dunedin in an old Sunbeam! Doug's career followed with interest since. Rest easy, brother.

To Doug, I can remember all the times I spent with you playing Rugby and just having a good time. I am unable to attend the service tommorrow but I have lots of memories from our rugby days.

I owe this man my second chance thanks to introduction from the Marsden Twins , he gave me a job when others wouldn´t I´m ever grateful to getting my confidence back after a rough recovery, I hope the rest of the world knows not just of the great things he did musically for this country but also the great things he did for Individuals who were not famous and the dignity he treated everyone with. You can finally rest you wonderful man thank you I will be for ever grateful

I was his closest mate at Pukenui School 1965. Ironically we both went on into the entertainment industry. We never crossed paths since school but We chatted on messenger recently.
