Obituary:
Passed away Tuesday, April 19, 2016. Richard "Dick" Abood was born and raised in Lansing, Michigan, graduating from St. Mary's Cathedral High School in 1955. He attended Aquinas College and continued on to law school, graduating from the University of Detroit in 1964. In addition to practicing law for 51 years, he was the President/CEO of Inco Graphics for 16 years, and the owner/operator of the Huddle Lounges in Lansing.
Dick was a man with a presence, one whose footprint in life was large and lasting. In keeping with the Lebanese tradition of hospitality, he loved nothing more than cooking for others and sharing a meal over stories that nobody could tell quite like him. He was in his element when in Northern Michigan, especially the Little Traverse Bay area, which held a special place in his heart. He adored being at the helm of his boat, skimming along the lake with a cargo of family and friends. He enjoyed card games and movies, and above all, spending time with his family, who will miss him dearly.
He was preceded in death by his parents: Samuel and Nabeha (Fawaz) Abood, stepmother Sarah Abood, sisters: Helen Nama and Hilda Kelush, brothers: Hannibal, Fredric and Camille Abood. Dick is survived by his loving wife Jennifer, his children with Sheila Abood: Samuel Abood, Celine (Paul) Terranova, Sarah (Larry) Stump, Rachel (Charles Smith) Abood, and Elizabeth (David) Carroll. He adored his four grandchildren: Samuel and Teddy Terranova and Joseph and Reuben Stump, his mother-in-law, Joan Brown, sister-in-law's: Patricia Abood, Mary Alice Abood, Amy (Sasha) Danilov, Melissa Budd, brother-in-law Tim (Nancy) Brown, and his many loving cousins, nieces, and nephews. He considered his dear friend, Kathy O'Neil his "fifth daughter." Likewise, his cousin Rocky Farhat, was loved like a brother, and he shared a special friendship with Tom Doyle, his former law partner.
A reception will be held in his honor on Friday, April 22, 2016 from 1:00-4:00 p.m. at the Country Club of Lansing, 2200 Moores River Drive, Lansing. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the Greater Lansing Food Bank.
