James E.  Hopkins
James E. Hopkins, 92, of Granby, husband of the late Mildred (Wallace) Hopkins, died Friday, November 11, 2016 at Apple Rehab in Avon. He was born April 6, 1924 in Hartford, son of the late William F. and Ruth (Wisner) Hopkins. He served in the Navy during World War II, earning several medals, including four battle stars for his service aboard the USS Curtiss in the South Pacific. A graduate of Hamline University, he received his Bachelors Degree after completing his military service. In 1956 he married Millie and the couple subsequently moved to Simsbury, where they raised their four children. Jim and Millie were active members of the community, serving on numerous Town boards and commissions. For many years, Jim was a member of St. Mary’s Church in Simsbury and, more recently, St. Therese Church in Granby. An advertising and public relations executive, Jim founded Hopkins & Associates in 1971 and operated the firm until his retirement. He loved the beach, especially the Connecticut shoreline. Having spent summers growing up at Point O’ Woods, Jim continued to enjoy visiting there during his retirement, with his long-time companion, Phyllis MacMillan.

He is survived by his daughter, Kim Hennig of West Simsbury; his sons Mark Hopkins of West Simsbury, Brett Hopkins and wife Teresa of Clearwater, FL and Craig Hopkins and wife Monica of Newton, NC; his grandchildren, Kyle Hennig of Simsbury, Kendra Potalivo and husband Mike of Philadelphia, PA, Kelsey Darch of Hoboken, NJ, Darcy Mauke and husband Chris of West Simsbury, Cori Hopkins of Essex, MA, Erin Hopkins of Unionville and Jamie Hopkins of Newport Richie, FL; his great grandchildren, Grace and Parker Mauke and Lily and Keira Hopkins as well as many cousins, nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his brothers, William and Richard, his wife Millie, his companion Phyllis MacMillan, his daughter-in-law Janice (Gilbert) Hopkins and his granddaughter Paige Katherine Hopkins.

Friends may call at the Vincent Funeral Home, 880 Hopmeadow Street in Simsbury on Monday, November 14th from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM.
