Kenneth Gillman Hopkins, 82, of Crisfield, MD, died Sunday, August 16, 2020 at Alice Byrd Tawes Nursing Home.

Born in Baltimore on May 26, 1939, he was a son of the late Kenneth Banford and Blanche Estelle Oldham Hopkins.

He served in the US Coast Guard from 1955-1959 and was a heavy machine operator at Longshoreman in Baltimore through the 1960's and 1970's.  That occupation also took him abroad from time to time.  Following the downturn in the maritime field, Mr. Hopkins purchased the restaurant what is now Watermen's Inn in Crisfield and eventually retired to Florida in 1988.  He moved back to Crisfield in 2006.

In Florida, Mr. Hopkins was a member of the American Legion and VFW.  He enjoyed traveling, his 10 grandchildren, and tinkering around the house.
