Hooper retired as the bank’s chief credit officer in 1985. Known affectionately by his colleagues as “Dr. No,” he had a responsibility for credit policy, country risk policy, real estate finance and lending services.

Born in Danbury, Hooper joined the Chase National Bank in 1948 after wartime service as a lieutenant in the U.S. Army.

He served in various local and national departments of the bank before he was named executive in charge of Europe and Sub-Saharan Africa in the banks international department.
