Bill Hooper

I just found out in a restaurant today that Bill had passed away. I was on a business trip staying at a motel in Hampton Tennessee back around 2012.
In the evening as I was going into the building Bill was at the back of his pickup with a camper top on it and had the tailgate down cooking a nice steak. We started talking and both of us love to fly fish. I met Bill up there and we stayed in the same motel again and fished the South Holston several times. I live in Boone and Bill...

We lost a good friend the other day. The video was wonderful, just seeing Bill again and doing the things he enjoyed in good health. Your family has always been special to us. Stony and Bill has some great times together with the John Boys Gang. All of you will be blessed remembering all the good times together.

Our prayers are with the entire family. I worked for Centel in Elkin with Bill for about ten years.
I remember how he loved to fish. Bill was a very nice family man that loved his family.
Blessings to you in the months ahead.

Dear Patsy, Ken, Joel and all the Family,
I am so sorry for your loss. I have fond memories of Bill during our pre-pandemic class reunions, especially of how kind he was to my Bill, who was a fellow fly fisherman and sufferer of dementia.
Patsy, our lives have followed similar paths in many ways, and my heart goes out to you and your chhildren and grandchildren.
I will be unable to make it to the funeral, but I will be thinking of you and hope that we can get together...

Keeping y’all in our thoughts and prayers! We love y’all!!

Love,
Tony, Bonnie, Carrie and Kimmie

So sorry for your loss.prayers for everyone!♥
