To the Winfrey family. I am sorry that I just found out about Hoot's passing. I had the pleasure of working around and with Hoot while at Thompson & Green. He was a great salesman and a good friend. Condolences to you all.

Shirley, I will miss Hoot's wonderful smile.  Ya'll have been thru so much.  Love you all.  Sue (Casner)Chapman

Cattle die,kinsmine die, we ourselves also die; but the fair fame never dies of him who has earned it. How can I ever forget the man that created my best friend ? Hoot & Mitch I hope both of you are together laughing at us. Shirley, Sabrina and Wendy feel blessed you have good ones looking over you and your families.

Shirley,
So sorry to hear of Hoot's passing. I spent many years working with him at A.E. Finley. He was able to use his uncanney wit to become one of the best salesmen I've ever known. I'm sure he already has them laughing in Heaven.
I will miss him !

Dear Wendy and Logan:  You have both been in my thoughts since hearing the news that your loved and loving father and grandfather has just died.  You will both be so sad, but also glad that he died peacefully and ad said his goodbyes to everyone he loved.

 

I know how much he has meant in your lives, and you will miss him.  My loving thoughts also to your mother Wendy.  Love to you both,  Lynn

Shirley and family, we, especially Phil, will miss Hoot TREMENDOUSLY.  He helped so many people and served the Lord in so many ways.  Phil will miss Hoot's calls because he was so funny that Phil would laugh until tears rolled down his face! There was only one H00T.  Phil loved him and enjoyed his company. So many happy memories! God bless each of you, Shirley.
With our love and sympathy,
Phil and Kay Prince

Shirley, So sorry to hear about Hoot. We loved seeing him when he came to the quarry. If Hutton had cooked lunch, he would have lunch with us. We loved his stories, he knew everyone in Tennessee I think.

Uncle Hoot was an original, God surely broke the mold after him.  He will truly be missed.

We will love and remember "Hoot" all of our life and how he loved the Lord and the kids in the bus ministry.  He was 
so special. What wonderful friends he
and Shirley were!
