Ca- nada Life Assurance Company in London, Mr. Hopper's long as- sociation with the company gained him respect and deep • friendship from his associates as well as his clients, IN MEMORIAM Canada Life Assurance Co, London, Ontario When a good friend and long. time associate suddenly leaves our midst, as Frank Hopper did through his untimely death last Friday morning, everyone who knew him is left in a state of deep shock and even disbelief that a man as energetically alive as Frank was, could pass away so unexpectedly. Frank will be sorely missed by Irene and son, John, as well as a number of relatives, friends and a host of clients in and around the Wingham area.

Thinking back over the years and the times we had together, Frank proved to be a staunch, trustworthy character, who would never let you down. His first love was for his family and rightly so, Next to this was his fondness for people in all walks of life and this coupled with his faith in life insurance and particularly the Canada Life, made him the most successful producer this Branch has ever had and one of the most re- spected representatives in the whole Company. Frank joined the Company on July 15th, 1946 and was with us for over 18 years. In all that time he ne- ver once missed appearing on the monthly Honor Roll. He won many other production achievements, especially in sales contests and his place in our midst will be hard to fill, if ever. To Irene and John goes the heartfelt sympathy from Frank's host of friends throughout the Company, but especially those of us in London Branch, who treasured his friendship sohigh- ly.
