LANCASTER - Everett W. "Hooper" Rexford, 84, of Causeway Street, died at his home Saturday March 29, 2014 after a long illness surrounded by his loving family.
Mr. Rexford was born in East Burke, VT on January 13, 1930 the son of Carroll I. and Myrtle (Danforth) Rexford. For a short time he was raised there until his family moved to Whitefield where they operated a dairy farm.
Eventually Hooper moved to Middle Street in Lancaster where he raised his family. At first he went into the logging business with a two year hiatus to serve in the US Army in an artillery unit during the Korean Conflict. Returning home he continued in the logging business and also started a scrap metal business.
He was a determined entrepreneur who operated several other businesses. For a time was in the building construction business and built many homes in the Lancaster area. He also started Rexford and Son Construction Company and from 1981 to 1987 he ran Hooper's Auction House. In 1988 he opened Hooper's Furniture and retired in 2000.
Hooper served his community for 22 years on the Lancaster Fire Department where he was a former assistant chief. Memberships include the Kiwanis Club and the American Legion.
Many things in life brought him enjoyment including fishing, berry picking, gardening, casino gambling, auctions and travelling. He also loved riding his Segway and being with his dog Buddy.
Surviving family members include his wife Phyllis (Manville) Rexford of Lancaster; his five children and their spouses, Wayne & Tina Rexford, David and Linda Rexford, Gary and Terri Rexford all of Lancaster, Susan and Mario Audit of Groveton, Randall and Patricia Rexford of Lancaster; two stepchildren and their spouses, Ronald and Lisa Manville of Lancaster, Bonnie and Robin Reynolds of Groveton; many grandchildren and great-grandchildren; a brother Rodney Rexford and wife Nancy of Dalton and a sister Gail Cormier and husband Eugene of Whitefield.
