Roy Hopen, Navy, Captain

My Uncle Roy died in a plane crash over Mt Shasta in 1945, ferrying planes from aircraft carriers in Seattle. He was a Hellcat pilot instructor during the war. He was 23 years old and his birthday was July 4th. My grandfather planted a tree by his grave in 1947, which still stands, over 75 feet tall.
