Our overlapping-classmate, Howard Spencer Hoover, Jr., died this past Monday, November 5, in Houston "after a brief yet valiant battle with esophageal cancer" (https://www.legacy.com/obituaries/houstonchronicle/obituary.aspx?n=howard-hoover&pid=190682235&fhid=6290). At Lamar Howard was a member of Irari, including being Vice President his senior year. Post-Lamar he received his BBA from SMU and his JD from the UT School of Law. He put that JD to good use in a long and distinguished legal, business, and civic career, including more than a quarter-century with Brown-Ferris [solid waste] Industries and being a lifetime member of the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo. A memorial service will be held for Howard in a few hours (1:00 PM FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 9, 2018) at St. Martin's Episcopal Church, 717 Sage Road in Houston, followed by a reception in adjoining Bagby Parish Hall.Stay healthy, please, classmates.
