1928 - 2015
Ernest Ralph Rood, 86, of Proctorville, Ohio went home to be with the Lord on Sunday January 4, 2015 at the Emogene Dolin Jones Hospice House, Huntington, WV. He was born April 30, 1928 in Huntington, WV to the late Ernest and Hazel Handy Rood. In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his loving wife of 68 years, Myrtle Pinkerton Rood; step mom Thelma Rood; two brothers Chauncey Rood and Troy Rood ; one sister Yetive Spears; and son-in-law Ernest B. Hall, Jr. He is survived by his three loving and devoted children; Ralph D. (Patricia) Rood, Phillip E. Rood (Brenda Adkins), and Clorinda Rood Hall; his six grandchildren, Christopher (Mandy) Rood, Ernie III (Tara) Hall, Amy (Kevin) Stowasser, Ericca (Ben) Workman, Evan (Jodi) Hall, and Summer Boyd; Pappy to his nine precious great grandchildren whom he adored; Nathaniel Rood, Tori, Lexi, Kali, and E.B.

Ralph retired from Houdaille Industries with 33 years of service. He then worked at Hall Funeral Home for the last 34 years and has been the manager and operator of the crematory for the past seven years, while working all the way up until the last months of his life. He was a member of First Baptist Church, Proctorville, Ohio. Ralph enjoyed golfing and fishing with his sons and grandsons, hunting, and traveling with all of his family. He enjoyed square dance calling for many years. He brought so much joy and laughter to his family with his wittiness. He truly loved all of his family and we will all miss him dearly. Funeral service will be conducted 11 a.m. Tuesday January 6, 2015 at Hall Funeral Home and Crematory, Proctorville, Ohio by Pastor Jeff Black and Pastor Mike Smith. Burial will follow in Miller Memorial Gardens, Miller, Ohio. Visitation will be held 6 to 9 p.m. Monday January 5, 2015 at Hall Funeral Home. In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to Hospice of Huntington. Condolences may be expressed to the family at www.timeformemory.com/hall.

Clorinda and Family;
So very sorry to learn of the death of your Dad! We didn't get the news until just a couple of days ago.
You all have been through so much in the last couple of years and we wish that we had the words to take your grief and pain away; no one really does!
Ralph was a good man with a great family and we know he will be so very missed by so many!
Love you guys!

Patty and family, My condolences to you and your extended family in the loss of your father in law, Mr. Rood. May you find comfort by leaning on our heavenly Father. I doubt you remember me, but we worked together on Pediatrics, CHH years ago.
