I just wanted to pass my condolences and prayers to Gary’s family. Alvie Yancey who is an old friend of mine and Gary’s called me the other night and passed the sad news. Gary and I were stationed together in Charleston during the early 80’s. Even though I only new Gary for a short time he was like a brother to me. He had the biggest and best laugh of anyone I have ever known. Praise God I no longer drink, but back in our young drinking days one of us would go out on the town and when we got in during the wheeeee hours of the night we would call the other and talk stupid and giggle. I hated the phone calls back then, but what I would do to hear his silly voice now.
One of my best times with Gary was when he and I went together up to Blackstone Va. We went up there to work some Army airdrops. Gary was in charge since I was the new guy. He said you go ahead and control the airdrop since you need the training. I talked to the airplane and told them when to drop the troops. Unfortunately, I put about 90% of them in the tree’s. Gary says let me have the radio and show you how to do it. The airplane came in and he told them when to drop. About 5 minutes later we hear a chainsaw crank up. We both started laughing. I guess they went in the tree’s also he replied. I’m not so sure the Army was laughing, but we got a kick out of it at the time.
Gary will be sadly missed. I may have some old pictures around if you would like me to check. Just email me if you like. Again you are in my thoughts and prayers. God bless.

I was a co worker of Gary`s at Group Health. His smile and laugh always followed him around the clinic. I saw him about a month ago, on the walking trail behind GH, and he looked so vibrant. Of course he also had that infectious laugh!
I hope it helps, Angela , Jennifer and family, to know so many are thinking of you. I wish you love and peace as you grieve.

Gary was indeed my best friend at a point of my life. He was there at my deepest and darkest point in my life, and for that, I will be forever thankful. I learned from him, I laughed with him, and I cried with him. I remember the night his daughter Jennifer was getting ready for her senior prom. I was with Gary at his home when she stepped on the large front porch in all her splendor. I told Gary "Now that is a beautiful young lady." He looked at her and smiled...with a tear in his eye. It was obvious to me that I was witnessing a special moment in proud and loving father's life. I wished to share this at his memorial yesterday but my emotions got the best of me. So here I am now writing this for all to read...and yes, my emotions are getting to me still. I wish only the best for Jennifer and Angie in the future and my heart goes out to you both.

We were so very saddened to hear of Gary's passing. He was such an awesome person and will be missed by so many. Our thoughts and prayers are with Angela, Jennifer and the family. There are a few individuals who we cross paths with in life who, in just being themselves change fundamentally who we are and make us better people, and Gary was one of these rare people.

Dear Hooper Family and friends of Gary:
I worked with Gary at the City of Lacey until 2002.
The memorial in the newspaper was a wonderful expression of everything about Gary...
His smile would light up a room and he adored to speak of his daughter. His pride in the home that he was building was so evident...his talents were so many!
Gary responded to and handled every situation with positive professionalism and care.
Gary blessed everyone who ever MET him with his gracious smile and wonderful personality. I am proud to have known him and will remember him with loving thoughts.
May God bless you and care for you during this time.

Dear Hooper family and friends, I was a friend and classmate of Gary.
My heart hurts for you all. I hadn't seen Gary in many years, but I always remembered his adventurous spirit. And after reading his obituary, it was nice to see he continued to grow as a person.
One Bible verse that has brought me great hope when my heart was hurting, is Psalm 34:18 "The LORD is close to the brokenhearted
and saves those who are crushed in spirit" May God be your comfort and strength during this difficult time.

I am a co worker and friend of Garys. The memories from working at GHC, the baseball games, seeing him "light up" when he spoke of Jennifer. Please know that prayers of God's Blessings are sent to you. I hope you can find comfort in God's loving arms during this very difficult time.

Gary was a wonderful person who loved life and people. He was intense in all he did. He came to work at Group Health and was someone I saw a lot of potential in. His enthusiasm and committment was something to be admired. He worked hard and gave his all to his job. It was with mixed feelings that I watched him move to another company, but his future was there and not at Group Health. His legacy will long be remembered by all of the people he touched over the years--both the patients and the staff. I will always remember his smiling face and his "can do" attitude, because he really could do anything he set his mind to. Much love and prayers go out to his family.

It's so hard to say the right thing during such an emotionally trying time. I do want to say I worked with Gary at Group Health and he was a joy to be around. We all missed him greatly when he left and were glad to hear of his job with the City of Lacey. He was a very sweet and talented guy and we enjoyed working with him. This is such a hard time for the family but many of us are really praying for you, Angela and Jennifer, to get through this. No one can know why these things happen but they do and there is no way to make sense of it. It is hardest on the family and friends left behind wondering what went wrong. All we can do is enjoy our memories and cherish the good times that were had. It was a beautiful piece in the paper and my compliments to the person who wrote it..it spoke well of Gary. You are thought of today and many days after....

I was so very sorry to hear of your loss. Words simply can't reflect the sorrow we feel for you and your family. My daughter, Jessica was a friend of Jennifers from South Bay and NTHS, and I knew Gary from his work with Lacey. He was always so upbeat, capable, and friendly. I know so many will miss him.

I am so saddened to hear about Gary's passing. There is no way to understand why these things happen. Just know that you will be together again someday where the pain and heartache of this life does not exist. I recently lost my husband of 40 years to cancer and know the pain you are going through right now. You are all in my prayers and I know that God will help you through this difficult time. God bless you!
