Vincent Joseph Chopard

Truly sorry to hear of Mr. Chopard's passing. I had the honor of being on the Chopard Team in 6th grade and his class was always a riot while also educational. I hope the memories and his laughter will comfort his family at this time. Kara S. of Glen Cove

My condolences to the Chopard family. Mr. Chopard touched so many lives in Glen Cove, including mine. He was my 5th grade teacher, the year my dad passed away. I will always be greatful for his kind words during what was a tough year. He'll always be remembered and will always be missed. May light perpetual shine upon him. Rest in peace, Mr. Chopard. Rest in peace.

Dear Chopard Family, The true measure of a person and their time on earth is how many lives they touched, how many people will remember them fondly. I´m sure you´ve received many, many such sentiments from countless people, many you might not even know. I´m another. 47 years ago I walked into Glen Cove Middle School. Awkward does not begin to describe me. I was only 10 years old as I was a year ahead in school and a very late bloomer on top of that. I was painfully shy, self conscious and...

My sincere condolences to the family on the loss of your loved one. May the God of all comfort be with you during your time of sorrow. Psalm 145:19 says "He satisfies the desire of those who fear him. He hears their cry for help and he rescues them"

One of the best educators. So devoted to teaching and his students between taking us to Frost Valley, Broadway, coaching and just opening the gym after school to play basketball. That is where "he broke" my first bone , it was an accident my picky got tub against the ball. And he taught the toughest grades and ages and made it look easy . Loved by everyone that was fortunate to know him.

This makes me so sad. Truly the only teacher I ever liked in the Glen Cove School system while I was growing up. You did your job well Mr . Chopard. You were memorable. You will be missed by all. RIP.....

My deepest condolences to the family. He was the best English teacher and coached my siblings. He will be truly missed but never forgotten.

Heartbreaking to hear about Mister Chopard. He was one of the main reasons I considered teaching and a big reason why I eventually chose Middle School English because of how much he taught me and just how much fun and engaging he made each class. He made learning so much fun and he was kind generous funny loud and just as good as they come. Thanks for all the memories and motivations Mister C. I will always appreciate them. -Matthew Verity
