Mr. Hooker was a very nice man who I met once at his home on the lake when Rodney invited me up to stay for a weekend of golf. We had a great time that weekend and it was a privilege and pleasure to meet Mr. Hooker. I was very sorry to hear of his passing this past weekend. I will keep Mr. Hooker and your family in my thoughts and prayers at this sad time. May your dad rest in peace Rodney! From your old golfing buddy Joe.

Mr. Bunch must have been a wonderful man, husband and father. His daughter is a reflection of that. May the family find comfort in the many memories shared of him and his life.
