Hookstratten is survived by his wife Aimee, brother Jim, and children Jon, Ann, Eve and Mae.
"My father was a larger than life personality in a town that specializes in them,” said son Jon Hookstratten in a statement. “He was obsessed with taking care of his clients who became a part of his family.”
Memorial service arrangements have yet to be made.
