Patrick F. Hooks

I am the better for knowing Pat Hooks. He took time to listen & talk with me when I encountered him at social gatherings. His grace and easy manner put folks at ease are to be emulated He always wanted to hear what I thought about different political situations in the part of the country I was in at the time most recently about Courtney/Simmons as well as Lieberman. Whenever I watch an close contest I think of Pat and know he is also aware of it.
A Gentleman Pat was. I am sorry for...

Mary, Bill and Family,
I was so sorry to hear of Pat's passing. I had the pleasure of being associated with Pat in the practice of law for a few short years. He always had time to share his wisdom and experience, along with his amazing stories. A great lawyer and man. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

I want to echo Tom Dooling's comments about Pat. Long ago I tried a case in Townsend, not against Pat, gave what I thought was a good closing argumemt, and won the case. Afterword one of the jurors came up to me and said "you're a pretty good talker but our Pat Hooks is the best." His type of lawyer is, unfortunately, a vanishing breed. We will all miss him.

Mary and Family:

We are sorry to hear of your loss. He was a great friend of the Arnett Family, as was his Father. We will miss stopping in to say hello when we visit in Townsend.

Now the attorney (Pat Hooks) and his long time secretary (Vera Arnett) are together in Heaven looking down upon us all and always encouraging us to do "the right and honorable thing."

All our Love,
Duane and Judy Standley Arnett

I was sorry to hear of Pat's death. I remember him as one of the last of the great old-time lawyers: a scholar and a gentleman first and always, but within those parameters, a zealous advocate and loyal counselor. We'll all miss him.

We were very sad to hear about the passing of Pat. I will always remember him for his help and understanding as both a good lawyer and as a good friend.

Our hearts and our prayers go out to Mary and family.

We were so very sorry to hear of the passing of our longtime and dear friend, Pat. There are so many good things to remember.
Our thoughts and our prayers are with Mary and the family.

Mary,

Wendy and I extend our deepest heartfelt condolences to you and your family during this difficult time.

One of my fondest memories of Pat was a day spent playing golf with him and my father-in-law (also an attorney) at Old Baldy golf course in Townsend. I think we enjoyed ourselves so much that we played 36 holes that day!

Please know that you are in our prayers and that he was a truly special person.
