Peter C. G. Hoppin ’41

We have just learned of the Dec. 13, 2011, death of Pete Hoppin on Pawleys Island, S.C.

Pete came to Princeton from Staten Island, N.Y., and was a graduate of Phillips Exeter Academy. He left Princeton freshman year and unfortunately did not keep up with the class.

We do know that he joined the Army Air Corps and flew B-24s with the 446th Squadron in Europe during World War II and B-52s during the Korean conflict and with the Strategic Air Command. After retirement, he worked as a civil service negotiator.

Pete is survived by his wife, Marjorie June Hoppin; his daughters, Cynthia June Shuler and Sandra Gale Stigant; his son, Robert Chambers Hoppin; seven grandchildren; and five great-grandchildren.
