Paul “Saul” Hoppe Jr. was born July 19th 1940 to Paul Sr. and Alvina (VanHeel) Hoppe in Albany. He married Eileen Zenner on June 15th 1963 at St. Mary’s Cathedral in St. Cloud. Paul was a proud serviceman serving in the Marines and Navy for over twenty years. His time in the service took him to Japan, Florida, California, and Virginia where he then retired as an Aviation Ordinance Chief. After his time in the service, Paul worked for Master Mark Plastics as the Plant Manager for 30 plus years before retiring. Paul loved the simple things in life including his trips to the casino, watching his beloved Twins and Vikings, and the time he got to spend at work. What Paul loved most in his life though was his family. He especially cherished every moment he got to spend with grandkids.
Paul is survived by his loving wife of fifty years Eileen Hoppe, Albany; his children Craig (Barbara) Hoppe, Mazeppa, MN; Beth (Ryan) Huber, St. Cloud; his grandchildren Allegra, Rowan, Caden, Harrison, Lily; his siblings Annette Frericks, Mount Iron, MN; Ken Hoppe, Albany; Judy “Macy” (Bernie) Simacek, Lonsdale; Robert Hoppe, St. Anna; Kathy “Nippy” (Don) Haines, Roseville; Sharon “Scotty” Linn, Albany; Debby (Tim) Linn, Freeport; Don (Lois) Hoppe, Mechanicsville, MD; Ron (Nancy) Hoppe, Morton, IL; Carol (Roger) Job, Freeport; and his cats Cookie and Reeses.
