David Hopkins

David loved his grandchildren more than anything in the world. He was always so proud of them. He definitely wore his Best Grandpa shirt with pride. He was an avid lover of Ford’s. One of his favorite places to be was at Bang’s Muffler Shop with his brothers from another mother, Ron and Brian Leist. David was always there to lend a helping hand no matter what it may be.
