We, the family of Neal Ross Hooper, of Fulton Ave., Westmount, regret to announce his passing on Sunday, May 29, 2016, at home.
Born in Sydney on July 26, 1955, he was a son of Murray and Norma (Carson) Hooper.
Ross had a long career as an electronic technician and software developer. He was very much a do-it-yourself kind of person, and was always eager to make use of his skills to help others. Ross was musically talented, and was a great singer and guitarist. He loved spending his summers hiking remote creeks and stillwaters in pursuit of trout, or relaxing at his family's cottage in Boisdale with the rest of the gang.
Besides his parents, he is survived by his son, Daniel, Sydney; sister, Claire Rogers (Hector Morais), Blackett’s Lake; brothers, Charles (Irene), Grand Lake Road, Keith (Kim), Halifax, Murray (Nurys), Costa Rica and Stephen (Marlene), Howie Centre.
Ross was predeceased by his wife, Deborah (Blakney) and daughter, Allison.
There will be no visitation. A celebration of life will be held at Sydney Memorial Chapel on Friday 11 a.m., with Rev. Dana Feltmate officiating. Interment in Resurrection Cemetery.
