Ron Hood

Ron Hood
If you have not heard, Ron Hood passed away yesterday night. Here's what his wife Karen said on the Hoodlums forum:

"To those of you who don't know, today is the first day that our son Jesse does not have a daddy. The first day in over 20 years that I do not have my best friend, love and husband.

It is with great sadness that I have to announce that Ron passed away in his sleep last night. Our alarm went off this morning as he set it for 8 am and he just did not wake up.

This is the day we were scheduled to leave for our EOTW gathering in Salmon Idaho. Ron, I and Jesse will not be coming.

I just want to scream from the top of my lungs that I love Ron so much that it hurts and that both Jesse and I have been blessed having him in our lives.

I will write more as I get a chance.

Jesse and I love you so much Ron. You were the best husband, friend, teacher and daddy I could ever imagine having.

-Karen and Jesse Hood "

If the name of Ron Hood is unfamiliar to you, Ron and Karen created an excellent series of videos about primitive skills and survival. Volume 9 of their Woodsmaster series, Primitive Knifemaking, featuring Tai Goo and Tim Lively, introduced a lot of people to Neo-Tribal Metalsmithing and knifemaking in general. There are a lot of folks blacksmithing and knife making who would not have done so otherwise.

Prayers for his family.

Cappaletti - I don't know details, but I don't think this was related. He was fighting prostate cancer, but his numbers (whatever they were indicating) were low (good, in this case), so he was going to go back in for more treatment in September. This was competely unexpected as he was posting normally on the forum the night before.
