Read More	Harold Wayne Hooker, age 98, passed away peacefully in his home at 11:16 PM on Tuesday, August 10, 2021. He was the last of the "Greatest Generation" in Francesville. Harold was born on the farm near Francesville, IN on May 22, 1923, son of the late Otto G. and Julie (Grock) Hooker. He was one of eight children. Harold married Mary L. Robinson in Monticello, IN on October 17, 1943 and she preceded him in death on March 26, 2018. Harold graduated from Francesville High School and helped on the family farm until enlisting in the US Navy. During WWII, he served aboard the USS Randall. Following his discharge, he and Mary moved to a 320 acre farm west of Francesville in Gillam Township, IN, where they remained until retirement. Harold kept a well-manicured farmstead, roadsides and equipment. His rows were straight and weed free. Neighbors and an ornery nephew would often pull weeds or corn and stick them in Harold's perfectly clean soybeans to see how long it took him to find it and remove it. He enjoyed farming and from time to time worked with neighbors during harvest. It was said by one of the wives who said, "I didn't know the guys could have so much fun farming". Harold always had a gleam in his eye, an ornery grin and ready to drink coffee with the guys and share stories. After retirement, he would be one of the first to arrive at the fertilizer plant each morning to have coffee ready for the crew. He enjoyed guns, hunting, and in the summer, you could often find him on "community groundhog patrol" along the ditch banks. Surviving are one daughter; one daughter-in-law; five grandchildren; four great-grandchildren; one sister-in-law; and several nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his parents; wife; son, Ed; three sisters - Blanche, Opal and Annabelle; and four brothers - Raymond, Paul, Lamoine and Ronald. An informal gathering of family and friends to remember and celebrate Harold's life will be held from 2:00–5:00 PM on Sunday, August 22, 2021 at the Meadow Springs Event Center, 8631 US Hwy 421, Francesville (intersection of US 421/Hwy 114). Private family inurnment will take place in Roseland Cemetery in Francesville, IN.
