Arthur M. Hoppe Jr.

Arthur was the patriarch of a beautiful family. He was the beloved husband of his late wife, Norma Jean Hoppe. Art was loved by everyone, as his generosity and kindness was evident by those who knew and loved him. He was a skilled carpenter, and he built his longtime home in Northbrook of 60+ years and the family vacation home in Northern WI. He also built numerous garages, sheds, decks for his family…just about anything was possible with his ingenuity and resourcefulness. He loved his family and wanted to make sure they were able to enjoy time together. He will be greatly missed. We know he is in a better place now, able to reunite with Norma to continue their love story.

Arthur will be greatly missed by his children, Gary (Teresa) Hoppe, Debbie (Kurt) Sorby, Mark (Shari) Hoppe and Jenny (Greg) Jurek; grandchildren, Kimberlie (Roy) Fickel, Gary Hoppe Jr., Kyle (Jill) Sorby, Kevin (Gina) Sorby, Eric (Sarah) Sorby, Karina (Clint) Morgan, Brian (Ashley) Hoppe, Nick (Natalia Ozymko) Hoppe, Scott Jurek and Ashley (Brayden Hilty) Jurek; great-grandchildren, Jace, Lila, Luke, Westley, Dominic, Michael, Will, Braxton, Brooke, Lincoln, Kal, Savannah, Maeve and Kit; and many nieces and nephews.

Arthur is preceded in death by his beloved sister, Ruth (Jay) Justmann, and his parents Arthur M. and Emily Hoppe.
