Harry Hooper

Harry carried a gentleness and kindness about him that would radiate and shine down on everyone he came into contact with. The world was a better place with him in it, and the world will surely miss his presence and smile, as I know I will. My deepest condolences to his family and friends.

I WAS SHOCK TO HEAR OF HARRY'S PASSING...MY PARENTS AND I MET HIM BACK IN TAMPA IN 1975..AND WAS VERY NICE AND SWEET TO ALL OF US.
OUR HEARTS IS WITH THE HOOPER FAMILY COUSINS AT THIS TIME

One of my first memories of Harry was right after he and Lynn moved in next door. I learned quickly that he and Lynn were nature enthusiasts and I asked him to chrysalis-sit for me while we were out of town. I had a few chrysalis that were going to hatch and I needed him to release the butterflies once they hatched. He graciously agreed to do it for us and from then on I knew how special he and Lynn would be. Will miss you my sweet friend. Love, Tiffany

I loved Harry's posts about birds and wildlife they were both informative, interesting and entertaining.

When I joined Audubon and the board of apalacheee Audubon I got to know Harry. Loved his birds and did a meticulous job of recording numbers of birds and conditions. Me and my wife Kim now do the territory for the Wakulla Christmas bird count. We would do the water/ canoe portion and they would do the land portion. I´ll remember seeing their smiling faces when we would run into them. My deep condolences.

Over the years, I would run into Harry as we were both out birding. We would stop and talk.

I enjoyed reading his posts about his feeder sightings. I appreciated him taking the time to share his observations.

He was a good man. I am sorry that he is gone.

Harry was a gentle soul who really enjoyed nature, especially birds. We hope your family is comforted by the memories and knowledge that he is resting peacefully.

To the Hooper children.. we are sorry for your ... you will be in our thoughts and prayers
