It's not every day that one turns 95 years of age, but, everyone's favorite school principal, Mr. Fred "Steve" Hopkins has reached this milestone with grace and vigor! π₯³πππ
Mr. Steve, as he is affectionately known, has truly changed the winds here at The Taylor House Assisted Living! He has been with us just a little over a year, and he has seen miracle after miracle and glory upon glory!βοΈ
Besides having been a proud veteran of the U.S. Navy Medical Corps, during the Korean War conflict, Mr. Steve also served as an educator and administrator at the Endy School, retiring as the principal in 1987, as well as having been an active volunteer fireman with the Endy Volunteer Fire Department here in Stanly County. πΊπΈ
Following his storied career, he stepped into a very successful venture in real estate having developed multiple properties into subdivisions and communities. And to this very day, he is still fielding business calls at Hopkins real estate brokers. π‘β€οΈ
We are excited to see what he has planned next. With Mr. Steve, it's no telling what he will do, but, what we know is, he will be leading the way to every day!!!
