Bob was the greatest athlete in the history of T.F. North: State Heavyweight Champion (1960), 3rd Place (1961), All-State Football (1961), and 2-time State Qualifier in Track (1960, 1961). More than that, he was a humble person, never bragging and never disrespecting anyone. I feel very grateful for being on the same teams with Bob, he was a great teammate. I send my deep regrets to the Hopp family for your loss.
