Hoot is truly missed by his many friends from over the years. Hoot was a great friend, keeping alive a friendship started as a co-worker at Milacron. He was also a fellow ham radio operator.

I am so sorry to hear of the passing of Hoot. I wish there was something that I could say or write that would help you through your grief but I know that only the passing of time and the love of God will help you through this difficult period. The family is in my prayers and with His healing powers there will come a time when memories of Hoot will, once again, bring joy to your spirit.

What a great brother your were. Full of love and kindness! A beautiful duet you will make when you sing "In the Garden" with our mother, Ora Lee. Maybe when I get there the Lord will have given me a prettier voice and we can make it a trio!
