Mr. Wood, a son of the late Grafton A. and Margaret E. (Flanagan) Wood, was born in Cambridge. He grew up and was educated in Winthrop, graduated from Boston Latin High School and furthered his education by attending Norwich University in Vermont. He served in the US Army during the Korean Conflict. For 25 years, he was employed by A.T. & T. at the Western Electric Division in Watertown retiring when the plant closed in the 1990s. He later went to work for MASCO at Fenway Park which was a dream come true, as he was a great fan of the Boston Red Sox.
