Not sure what to say?

My family is now selling a cabin at Sundance Dwight designed. So charming g a place. He must have had magic within him.

If Dwight is only known for his photos of Laura Lyons, that is good enouigh for me.

Was looking for an old Playboy Club photo for my Facebook Easter profile and found one. Taken by Dwight Hooker in 1968, I'd guess. I was curious what he was up to and happened onto his obituary. Sorry to see this. My condolences to the family.

I had the good fortune of working with Dwight as a model. I was new to the business and he taught me how to handle myself professionally. I will always be grateful to him for his guidance and kindness. My heart goes out to the family.

My family and I have wonderful memories of Dwight - we will miss you and your vibrant, kind spirit. With love, Leah Tarpy Rodgers and the Tarpy Family

My recollections of Dwight are only positive. I don't believe I ever heard him say anything unkind about anyone. I always enjoyed his intelligent and interesting perspective on things and admired his ability to spin a great tale. So sorry I was out of town for his service. I wish only the best to his family and friends.
