My thoughts and prayers are with you.. Please accept our condolences. Gay and family
Words cannot express the sadness I feel. I remember the first time I actually visited with Mr. Hopper (more than just a passing hello). Back in 1993, our first cool spell, I walked down to check my mail and Mr. Hopper stopped me, looked down at my feet and said, ”well, you do own a pair of shoes”. From that day on we were friends. I will cherish the memories we shared, if I could have picked a daddy, I would have picked Mr. Hopper.
Mrs. Hopper and the rest of the family, I am so sorry for your loss. My prayers and my love are with each one of you.
I be alway respected and called him Mr. Hopper (also Mrs. Hopper as well) one day he told me “Heath Call me Lloyd” I never changed my respect for him. So sorry for the loss of such a great man. Praying for his beautiful wife and family.

I also forgot to tell you, Lloyd, Kirby is waiting on you to get the spray rig ready so you all can go to work
Our deepest sympathy on your loss. I have very fond memories of Mr. Hopper on the farm and as a very loving, supportive dad to his children and the children of Frenship. He let us take over his barn to build a replica of a gin for Junior Historians and never complained about the mess we made. I remember spraying weeds for him (when we used to spray weeds). When I hear the poem “God made a farmer”–I think of Mr. Hopper. God bless you in these days as you celebrate and remember the quality man that he was.
He was a great Uncle and I will miss him. My thoughts and prayers are with Aunt Lois and her children.
