Grover LaFollette August 5, 1942 January 9, 2025

Grover “Hookum” LaFollette was born in Rochelle, La. to Sherman LaFollette and Lucille Hemphill. He started working at the age of seventeen for Tremont Lumber in Joyce and stayed until his retirement. He still talked about his days there and had many fond memories of the many people he worked with. He just mentioned Sunday that he only missed one day of work. He also joined the Army National Guard. He loved raising livestock of all sorts and did so most of his life. He always enjoyed talking about the things that he and his brothers did as young men.

He was preceded in death by his parents, daughter Amy, wife Patsy Stewart, brothers Bobby, Charles and Billy, sisters Virginia Hutchins and Peggy Busby.

Those left to remember him are his daughters Kim (Alex) and Shannon Stassen (Robert), grandson Lathan Wise, granddaughter Halle Wise, brother Danny, longtime companion Ann Garlington and their precious fur babies Peanut and Little Bit and many nieces and nephews.

The family will have a memorial service at a later date.
