Chairman Lathan Comments on the Passing of Former Chief Justice Perry Hooper, Sr.

“Chief Justice Hooper was a titan among Republicans. He was considered a patriarch of our Party. When Justice Hooper began his journey in ALGOP, it was an uphill battle but he never blinked. We can thank trailblazers like Chief Justice Hooper for laying the foundation for our success today. We will always remember and be grateful for his willingness to serve the citizens of Alabama. Chief Justice Hooper was a role model for all in the consistent conservative pathway he followed.”

“Chief Justice Hooper served his country faithfully as a Marine and as a public official throughout most of his life. He served as a probate judge, circuit judge,a long-time RNC National Committeeman for Alabama, and later, as the first Republican since Reconstruction to hold the office of Chief Justice of the Alabama Supreme Court.”

“Our thoughts are with his family and friends. Chief Justice Hooper loved his time as a public servant to our state, but his love of his family and friends was his true passion in life. We lift up Alabama Republican Executive Committee member Perry O. Hooper, Jr., his wife Judy and their family with our prayers.”
