He was a proud alumnus of The College of William and Mary where he was a member Of Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity. Howard then earned a degree from Vanderbilt Law School.

As usual with most Kentuckians, Hook loved to watch UK basketball. If a game were not televised where he was, he would call his mother and receive a play by play over the phone.

His Beloved grandchildren Taylor Rice (Krysta), Michael O’Leary, Jacob Rice, William O’Leary, Matthew Rice, and Kendall Rice. And as of August 27, 2020, great grandson Raylen James Rice!
