It was GREAT to see "Hooker" at the MHS
60th reunion. We enjoyed catching up on his life since H.S. graduation. He will be missed and we know his wife and family have a great void to fill.

They "broke the mold" with Hooker. Truly one of a kind. I'll always remember how red his face got when he laughed...
