Walter Hooper died on December 7, 2020. I’ve been told a service will be live-streamed at the Oxford Oratory via their YouTube Channel) on Friday, January 8th at 11 am GMT (6 am Eastern). Additionally, I’ll be releasing a couple of podcasts (via All About Jack) featuring reflections by people who knew Walter (and a few other podcast shows are doing the same and I’ll link them when they are posted). My first is scheduled to post on January 6th.
The following is mostly a collection of links to various obituaries and tributes to Walter Hooper. I’ve also included links to more “general” pieces that feature Walter Hooper speaking (plus, here’s a link to an interview I did with him in 2016).
