Obituary:
Robin Arthur William Hopfensperger, age 57, of Appleton, passed away peacefully with his wife by his side on Wednesday, September 30, 2015 at Appleton Medical Center. He was born on January 4, 1958 in Long Beach, California, to Raymond and Carol (Howe) Hopfensperger. On May 26, 1979, Robin married Susan Pellegrini at St. Thomas More Catholic Church in Appleton. He served his country in the U.S. Air Force. This began his passion for airplanes. Robin loved his job as an aircraft maintenance supervisor at Air Wisconsin, and achieved his goal in aviation when he was hired on with United Airlines. He was a leader with the Girl and Boy Scouts, and the National Guard Cadet Program. A few of Robin's hobbies were traveling and woodworking, especially making the rocking horses for his precious grandchildren. His family meant the world to him. He loved being with family, and he was an awesome cook, husband, dad, and papa. Robin truly loved his grandchildren, and looked forward to the time spent with them.
Robin is survived by his loving wife of 36 years, Sue Hopfensperger; children Amy (Corey) Lahvic, Chris (Mary) Hopfensperger, and Michael Hopfensperger; grandchildren Cameron and Carter Lahvic, Azaria Hopfensperger; his mother Carol Hopfensperger; and siblings Larry, Brian (Janet), and Sherry Hopfensperger. He is further survived by his nieces, nephews, other relatives, and friends. Robin was preceded in death by his grandparents, his father Raymond, and a nephew Adam Hopfensperger.
The memorial service for Robin will be held at 11:00 am on Tuesday, October 6, 2015 at ST. JOHN'S CENTER FOR INNER PEACE, 1513 Pinewood Lane in New London. Fr. Paul Feider will be officiating. The family will receive relatives and friends on Tuesday at the church from 9:00 am until the time of service.
