Stewart Read Hopkins

“The harder I work the more I live.” – George Bernard Shaw. A Navy enlistment lead to a college education. This gave Read a step forward to a successful career. Never quite able to describe his work, he’d tell people he sold toothbrushes. Read was detail oriented which was a perfect fit as vice president for Davis Calibrations. He was a Woolwich Twp. resident known for his kindness and generosity. He is survived by his wife Olive Hopkins (nee Burns); children Andrew (Jamie) of Elk Grove Village, Illinois, and Amy Smith (Ryan) of Galloway, N.J and four grandchildren: Olivia and Mason Hopkins and Tori and Ryan Smith. Come celebrate 62 hard working years at his memorial service 11:00 a.m. Thursday January 14, 2010 at Bethesda United Methodist Church, 1435 Kings Highway, Swedesboro. In lieu of flowers contributions may be made to the Bethesda United Methodist Church. Arrangements by Daley Life Celebration Studio. Tell us a great story about Read at lifecelebrationstudio.com. rnrn
