Hopper, I only knew you for a short time but in the time I did I learned quickly that you were a kind man that would help anyone in need. RIP

Grampy was a wonderful man who would do anything for anyone. He put up a great fight that we are all very proud of him for. We are glad he is not suffering any more and that he is finally at peace and whole again. I love my grandfather with all my heart and know that he will always be here with us in our hearts and memories and that he will always be watching over us.

Larry Hopper was a great guy who worked hard and genuinely cared about people. He never complained and was always there when you needed him. He was truly one of a kind. I'm sure he's fixing things in Heaven right now!
