Not sure what to say?

I was looking for someone else, and found this. I have very fond memories of Mr Hopper. He would stand in the cafeteria at Langham Creek every morning and every afternoon and greet over 2500 students by name each day. I was relatively quiet at school, but he knew my name. I´ll always admire his leadership.

Coach Hopper was my football coach in 1962 and 1963 at Blocker Jr. High in Texas City, when I was in the 8th and 9th grade.
An incident that cemented my memory of him happened in 1963. One day in school (9th grade) I was in his Health class. It was raining outside, so he had the students remain inside and study. We were in the school auditorium. At about 20 minutes before the bell rang, Coach Hopper slowly walked to the PA microphone and calmly announced to us that President Kennedy had...

I was a student at Campbell for 3 years until May 1980 while he was the principal.

George Hopper was such a personable, engaging and just plain wonderful man.
He is missed.
Prayers of support for his family as they each face this stressful time.

So sorry for your loss.
Thoughts are with you,Mark,Barbara and boys.

Pam and family - Your sweet George was an inspiration to so many students, teachers and parents. It was a gift to have been able to teach under his leadership at Langham Creek. Blessings and comfort to each of you as you send him to his heavenly home. Robin Cerny and the Bailadoras from 1984-1990.

He was the principal that opened Campbell Middle School when I was an 8th grader in 1978-79. Our colors were green and white, and he got a forest green suit that he wore for open house. The students and parents loved him. This year I completed my 31st year as an educator in Cy-Fair ISD.
