I am so sorry to hear of the loss of Herr Wood. He was such an incredible teacher that pushed his students and encouraged us to do more and to be more. I was so grateful for his efforts in helping me to LOVE the German language! My thoughts and prayers are with his wife Susan (who I remember him always talking about so proudly and lovingly in class) and their children and grandchildren.
Sending condolences to the family of Mr. Wood. He was our son’s German teacher and was absolutely amazing. What a great man of integrity, love, service, and class. Thank you Mr Wood for being one of the best teachers my kids have had!! Sending prayers to your family at this time.
It is with sadness that the Delta High School Class of 1972 says goodbye to one of the kindest people we know. Thank you, Earl, for being a great example of making the world a better place. We are proud to have known you. You were a great friend to all who have crossed your path. Our prayers are with the Wood family at this time.
