I am so sorry to hear about Mr. Hoover passing. He was such a sweet and wonderful person and always willing to help anyone that was in need. He will truly be missed and I will forever be grateful for how he always treated me and was there when my friends and I needed help. I will always remember him riding around with that cigar hanging from his mouth and smiling. I know that he is now at peace with the Lord and resting in God loving arms. Rest in peace Mr. Hoover, you will truly be missed.
Jim & Mary My condolences to your family and praying for the peace that overflows from the heavens above 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾😇😇😇❤️❤️
I was deeply saddened to hear about the death of Jim Lewis Williams, Sr. “Hoover” Hoover was such a kind, gentle soul. He would do anything to help anyone in need of his assistance. He always maintained and personal relationship with myself and my Uncles Raymond “Pete” Johnson and late Bill Johnson. He will be truly missed. I pray that God will provide comfort to his family during these hours of need.
