Marine Chuck Hoepfner

Chuck Hoepfner, who is one of the Marines who signed our Detachment's Charter in 2007, has passed away at the Veteran's Home in Ivins.  When he joined the Detachment he and his wife Dolores lived in Cedar City.  Eventually, the Marines there formed their own chartered Detachment so we didn't see much of Chuck at our meetings after that. Chuck died from cancer.  The reason I mention it is because he was with the contingent of Marines from Camp Pendleton who were bused up to the proving grounds northwest of Las Vegas to witness the after-effects of underground detonations.

There is a short celebration for Chuck May 21st, 1500 @ the Hughes Mortuary in St. George.  The address is 700 S 1037 E.  Chuck's son is currently on active duty and has arranged for his own honor guard.  However, we are all welcome to show up and pay our respects to Chuck, Dolores, and family.  "Fair winds and following seas," Marine.
