Continue ReadingIn loving memory of Mr. Alfred (Nookie) Hooker of Chesapeake, VA, who peacefully passed away on January 20th, 2024. Born to the late Milton and Laura Mae Hooker, he dedicated 34 years of his life to the Newport News shipyard before retiring.
Nookie, a resilient individual with a heart of gold, was a devoted father and grandfather. His happiness radiated when his children and grandchildren came to visit, ensuring they lacked nothing during their time with him. His memory will be cherished by his son Alfred Hooker, daughters Laura Davis and Candace Strothers (Antonio), 10 grandchildren, and a great-grandson. He is also survived by his sister Deloris Gilliam (Leroy), brother Bradford Hooker (Patricia), sister-in-law Janice Hooker, along with numerous nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends, including his cherished shipyard companions.
The family expresses heartfelt gratitude for the overwhelming support and love during this difficult time. In honoring Mr. Hooker’s wishes, all services will remain private. He will be truly missed but forever remembered in our hearts.

We were neighbors of Mr. Booker and very sorry we didn’t get a chance to say good-bye. We always called him “Mr.” To show our respect. He was a quiet man and a good neighbor. We’d chat and visit when he pushed his trash can out to the street, and he was always pleasant and appreciative for little things we’d do in looking out for him. Bye to our friend, Mr. Booker. We will miss you. Save us a place in that grand mansion in the skies. Al and I send our sincere sympathies to his family as you mourn your loss. Jean and Al at 3306 Settlement.

To our cousins Al, Laura, Candace, and Aunt Carolyn. Those words could not be more true. Uncle always made sure that we had what we needed. He will never be forgotten, and always in our hearts. I pray that our family bond will never be broken. No matter the many miles that separate us. I Love You All.

To my cousin's Alfred Jr., Laura, and Candace and the entire Hooker family, you have my deepest sympathy in the loss of your Father, and Brother and my Uncle "Nookie". I remember him as I was a child, being a good guy and always cool and unselfish. Although it's been a minute since I last saw him, he is already missed. I am praying for you all. Losing my Mom was and is still such a hard loss so I understand your pain. But, it will get better. Don't let anyone tell you how long to grieve. It will take time. Always think about the good time's and how great a Dad he was to you all and a big brother to you Uncle Brad. And Aunt Carolyn, I know you miss him and loved him as well.... this too shall pass. Just know he is no longer in any pain or suffering.I love you all to life. To God be the glory because He never makes any mistakes. Your cousin and niece, Evangelist Crystal Ellis
