At the Saint John Regional Hospital, Saint John NB on June 15, 2014, Mr.
Glendon Rufus Hooper, husband of Mrs. Janet (Foley) Hooper of Back Bay NB.
Born at Back Bay NB on August 30, 1943, he was a son of the late Hill and
Elaine Hooper. A loving husband, father, grandfather, brother and friend, in
addition to his loving wife Janet, he is survived by two daughters; Cathy
(Sean) Morton of St. George NB and Marcy (Kevin) Murray of Caithness NB, the
loves of his life, his grandchildren; Hillary, Chassie, Alex, Kelsey,
Hailey, Mikey, Teagan and Tatum, eight sisters; Anna (James) Tucker of
L’Etete NB, Lyda McLeese of St. Stephen NB, Lorena (Blayne) Hanley, Loma

amazing and dedicated chauffeur who never allowed him to miss an
appointment, Larry Whittier of Seeley’s Cove NB and many special nieces,
nephews and cousins. Glendon was predeceased by one daughter, Misty Hooper
and by one sister, Sheila Thurber.
Prior to retirement, Glendon worked for Connors Bros for a number of years
and was also employed as a carpenter, working around the local area. He was
known as a “people person” who loved to talk to everyone he encountered and
enjoyed a good laugh. He was an avid outdoorsman who enjoyed hunting,
fishing and hauling wood. In his free time, he was the “King of Washers”,
often beating those he played against and Glendon couldn’t be happier or
more proud watching his grandchildren play basketball. A special thank you
to the girls at Eastern Charlotte Extra Mural for your kind words of
encouragement. Your love and sense of humor allowed Glendon to laugh right
to end, and for that the family will be forever grateful.
Resting at the Sea View Full Gospel Church, Back Bay NB from where the

church will take place on Monday from 7-9 pm and on Tuesday from 2-4 and 7-9
