Ed (Hoppy) Hopkins and I were good friends for more than 50 years, and my Union shop steward for several of those years. He was always ready to help any member having work-related problems, and was a fierce defender of our rights. He was also a good musician and I and many of his other friends spent many hours listening to him and his fellow musicians jamming or playing engagements.
He will be missed by all who knew him.
