Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
Mike, Polly, Erin, Amy and Austin: Everyone at The Mortgage Company is thinking of you. We are so sorry for your loss. Daryl Hoelting was in my office and was recalling how Glenn attended the Marymount baseball games and how much he enjoyed him. We have you in our prayers.
Mike and Doug, I’m truly sorry for your loss. It’s never easy losing a parent. My thoughts and prayers are with you both during this time.
Our thoughts and prayers are with the entire Hoppock family. We have lots of fond memories.
Dear Hoppock family, I worked with Glenn when he was in Contract Administration and I was a Boeing negotiator. Glenn was always a gentleman who was fair in his work. We moved past the adversary mode to become more of friends. One always knew where you stood with Glenn, which was usually a positive experience. I learned quickly that if I were up front and honest with Glenn, that he would listed to my position. I also knew that if I weren’t honest, that he could really make things difficult for me. I am sorry for your loss the loss to many people who who received a little ‘Glenn Hoppock education’. May God bless Glenn and his family.
I’m so sorry to hear about Glenn’s passing. Glenn was the type of person that would make me feel special when he spoke with me. Some people like Glenn just have that special quality. I always looked forward to bumping into Glenn out at Boeing where he was a Logistics Analyst. Such a jovial guy. Other than out at Boeing I don’t ever think I saw Glenn without Shirley by his side. What a wonderful cheery couple! Glenn was very proud of his family and would always give me updates on his sons (Mike and Doug). I can still remember him way back in his coaching days. I’m sure gonna miss him!
Mike, I am sorry to hear about the passing of Your Dad. I lost my Dad back in 1998. Both our Dad’s had the same birthday. Mine was born in 1913,and he always joked that he got cheated by being born on the shortest day of the year. My thoughts are with you. Steve Fitch.
HOPPOCK FAMILY (SHIRLEY AND SONS) OUR SINCEREST SYMPATHY TO YOU ALL. SO SUDDEN. SUCH A GREAT LOSS TO US ALL AT THE CHURCH. BOB AND BARBARA MCAULEY
