I was extremely saddened to have learned of the passing of Mr. Hoover, (even at 40-years old I would never call him anything but). I grew up only a few blocks away from the Hoover family, and I have countless childhood memories of this man. I knew very early on his deep rooted passions for his family, community, and Syracuse sports and those passions never dissipated. Thank you Mr. Hoover for your kindness to me and my family, your devotion to your family and community, and the integrity you displayed throughout your life. You will sincerely be missed. To the Hoover family, please accept my deepest condolences for your loss.
With extreme sympathy, Shawn Mullen
