Jupiter PO to be Named for Roy Rood

The House passed legislation introduced by U.S. Rep. Tom Rooney, R-Tequesta, designating the U.S. Postal Service building at 401 Old Dixie Highway in Jupiter as the Roy Schallern Rood Post Office Building.

The Postal Service will coordinate and schedule a dedication ceremony in the near future.

Rood died last October at the age of 92.  He was the founder of Rood Landscape and helped to establish a number of northern Palm Beach County institutions, including the Jupiter Christian School, Grace Immanuel Bible Church, the Jupiter-Tequesta Kiwanis Club, the Jupiter American Legion post and the Jupiter-Tequesta Athletic Association.
