David Walter Hook's Obituary
David Hook, 69 of Corydon, passed away on Thursday, March 10, 2022 at his home in Corydon.
David Walter Hook was born on November 5, 1952 to Duane Lee Hook and Phyliss Mae (Meyer) Hook in Radisson, Wisconsin. He graduated from Corydon High School with the class of 1970 and went on to get his Associate's Degree from DMACC. He married Becky Little on March 5, 1980, and to this union, five children were born: Michelle, Lonnie, Shannon, Chrystal, and Bridget.
David enjoyed the outdoors, especially fishing and hunting. He worked as a diesel mechanic in Kansas City, Missouri for five years before working for the City of Corydon for 34 years, and was a driver for local Amish families. David was known for his pets, having a pet squirrel and a pet goose. He loved his animals, but would never admit it to anyone. David was a jack-of-all-trades, enjoyed working odd jobs, and would help anyone who needed it.
