Mr. Gerald Wayne Hooks

Gerald Wayne Hooks, 76, peacefully passed away the morning of Monday, November 10, 2014 at his residence. A Graveside Service will be held at 11:00AM on Thursday, November 13, 2014 at the Kimball United Methodist Church Cemetery. The Rev. Robert Webb will officiate. Mr. Hooks was born in Anderson City/Worth County on April 1, 1938 to the late Rock and Gladys Massey Hooks. He grew up playing sports for the Worth County High School. Mr. Hooks took an interest in carpentry and construction which became his profession throughout his life. He started out building houses in his hometown community. Mr. Hooks later went to work for Fickling and Walker Development Company in Macon, retiring after 20 years of service. Retirement was not to his liking, so he went back to work for Cogan Industries and later for Robert Webb Construction. Mr. Hooks finally settled down in his second retirement. He was an avid sports fan and would not miss a NASCAR race, Falcons, Braves, or UGA game! Mr. and Mrs. Hooks celebrated their 54th wedding anniversary on March 25, 2014.
