They have done a great thing here to honor good people. Yet some negative jackasses just had to find a way to carelessly post and ruin even the smallest decent act.

shame on you.

As a good friend of Sharon’s I’m so thankful for the opportunity to remember through a physical reminder in the “historic” area of Fayetteville that Sharon worked so hard to make the best place possible. And I’m so proud of Randy Werner, Maureen’s good friend, so worked so hard to make this possible

This monument is so fitting for the city and for the Hoovers. It’s so nice to know that we can all walk the trail and be reminded of them through art. Thank you Randy for putting so much time, effort and money into this project. MIss you Maureen.

Jonah has gone too far this time. Steve was Dan’s oldest friend. Those of us who really did know the Hoovers know they would never have been friends with someone like Jonah. Everything it seems is a political opportunity for him including the death of a great family. They where kind, decent, and talented people, and Jonah is a disgrace. Totally sickening.

Oh, the things that pass for “art” critics anymore.

I think it’s pretty and will be a delight to bike past.

Oh the things that pass for ‘art’ anymore. I can understand wanting to do a memorial, but really that’d be more fitting in some redneck’s shop building after a night of drinking and playing with a welder.

Maureen, Paul, Steve and Sharon loved the outdoors, art, and especially Fayetteville. It brings a tear to my eye and an emptiness to my heart when I miss them, but this piece of Steve’s work is a truly beautiful sentiment. Nothing can replace the Hoovers, but a permanant piece of Steve’s art will serve as a daily reminder of how much the city meant to them and all of us. Speaking for Maureen’s family, thanks so much Randy.

Jonah,

Mayor Coody did not schedule this, and was ASKED to be there because of his connection with the family.

Not a ****ing coincidence at all. Take your political BS back to your blog.

The Hoovers were wonderful people, and Steve’s sculpture is a fitting tribute to their contributions to our community, both realized and unrealized. We miss them dearly.

It is good of Mayor Coody to take time from his busy schedule to participate in this dedication, fortuitously scheduled as it is less than a week before the election. Coincidence, no doubt, but don’t let his crass opportunism detract from the lives of the Hoover family and the honor we pay to their memory.

I miss Sharon, and I always loved seeing Steve’s art sitting around in their yard, but I have to say…there is already an outdoor gallery along this trail if you consider the works of the Frisco Trail Graffiti Bandit. He’ll have this city fragments thing fixed up in a jiffy!
