I met Bill Hooks when he worked at Bill Ussery Volkswagen and I remained acquainted with him throughout most of the 1980's. He was a nice, handsome man with a charming smile and a contagious laugh. He had four beautiful kids whom he loved beyond measure. He was a kind man and a helluva fisherman. I hope there's a big ole bass lake in heaven. Rest in peace, Bill.
