Oliver Richard Hopson, born April 9, 1938 passed away on Monday May 11, 2015 
after a long battle with lung cancer.

He is survived by his wife of 56 years, Melba, daughters and sons-in law, Benee

He was preceded in death by his father, Oscar Hopson.

Richard was born in Bentonia, MS, but spent most of his life in Monroe, LA. He 
enjoyed hunting, fishing, and training bird dogs. He fell in love with the 
sport after he was given the opportunity to travel to Frobisher, Saskatchewan, 
Canada to work with Field Trail Hall of Famer, Jack Harper.

He retired from T L James & Co. after 33 years of service and started his own 
company, H & L Equipment & Co., which was in business for over 20 years. In 
2001, he moved back home to Mississippi where he enjoyed spending time with 
family and friends.

The family would like to express a special thank-you for the loving care that 
was given by his home health nurses, Ella and Kayla; Hospice nurses, Megan, 
Debbie and Sharon; and the doctors, nurses and staff at G. V. "Sonny" 
Montgomery Veterans Affairs Medical Center, and a special care giver, Mario 
Belton, of The V A Medical Center.
