Raymond W Hopkins Passes

[Larry]

On 27 June, 2009, former long time Eagle Mountain, CA, resident and
retired Kaiser Steel Corp. employee died. Yet again we Eagle
Mountaineers loose another piece of ourselves.

Mr Hopkins is a World War II hero. He survived the beaches of
Normandy, France, when he successfully participated in the famous
invasion. Mr Hopkins will be given full military honors as he is laid
to final rest.

We share the pain and emptiness of the loss of our Eagle Mountain
family member Raymond W Hopkins. We extend our most sincere and heart
felt condolences to his survivors: Mildred, wife, and sons/daughters,
Gary, Ron, Richard, James, Gloria and Darlene.
