Governor Bentley Releases Statement on Death of Former Alabama Chief Justice Perry Hooper Sr

MONTGOMERY–Governor Robert Bentley on Sunday released a statement on the death of former Alabama Chief Justice Perry Hooper Sr.

“I am saddened to hear of the passing of former Chief Justice Perry Hooper Sr. today. Chief Justice Hooper was the first Republican Chief Justice to be elected since Reconstruction, and he served our citizens with honesty and integrity during his time on the Supreme Court. He was a role model for many Republicans and valued public service. He was a Marine veteran and a strong family man. I know Alabamians join me in praying for his family, especially his wife Marilyn and their children, during this time.”-Governor Robert Bentley
