Jack Hoover, a Cushing resident, passed away on Monday, June 28, 2010 after a courageous battle with cancer in the Cancer Treatment Center in Tulsa, OK at the age of 77 years.
The son of the late Walter O. Hoover and Nona Lee Campbell Hoover, Jack was born on November 1, 1932 in Stroud, Oklahoma.
He was reared and educated in Drumright attending Drumright High School.
Jack was united in marriage to Carolyn J. Conn on July 21, 1951 in the First Baptist Church in Drumright and to this union five children, Donnie, Mike, Linda K., John Scott and Joe Matt, were born.

In 1961 while working for Sun Oil Company, Jack moved his family to Perkins, Oklahoma and began working on the Ramsey Lease. This is the same lease that his father started and his oldest brother worked on. Jack spent most of his work days doing business in and around Cushing.
