Robert Michael Hook Jr.

Bob was born on March 24, 1946 at Morristown Hospital in Morristown, New Jersey. He was the oldest, and only son, of Dorothy and Robert Michael Hook Sr. Bob lived in Scotch Plains, New Jersey until he graduated from Scotch Plains Fanwood High School in 1964, and joined the U.S. Air Force in September that same year. He served for four years, two of which he was stationed in the Philippines, serving as loadmaster during the Vietnam War. After his honorable discharge from the Air Force, he began working for Piedmont Airlines in Newport News, Virginia. In 1984 Bob and his family moved to Spring, Texas where he worked for U.S. Airways until he retired.

He impacted everyone he met with his fun personality and his caring heart. Robert Hook will be sorely missed, and forever loved by many.
