Bobby Warren Hopkins, 75, of Springfield, Missouri, passed away on Wednesday, August 8, 2018.

He was born May 28, 1943, in Phillipsburg Missouri to Warren and Beatrice (Moore) Hopkins.

A master carpenter for many years, Bobby possessed a passion for the creation, design and the construction of a variety of woodworking projects. Besides his professional carpentry skills, he also provided for his family by stepping into the area manufacturing arena by working at both Zenith Electronics and Loren Cook Company located in Springfield.

Above all, though, he cherished time spent with his family.
