It is with great sadness that I have just learned of the passing of Dick Hopson.  Many of you will remember Dick as owner of Hopson's Sales &amp; Service, in Raritan, IL.  Dick was one of the few remaining old time Oliver dealers.  He had worked at the dealership since the late 1950s, and purchased it around 1975.  Dick will long be remembered for his knowledge of the Oliver line, and his willingness to help whenever he could.  His quick wit and outgoing personality, as well as his love of the local children will be sorely missed.  Rest in peace Dick.
