Siggi was loved by all who knew him. He was a very easy-going man who loved his family and gardening. The family cherishes treasured moments whether it was him attending one of the many events of theirs, Christmas Eve’s at the Kopp House or having coffee at the kitchen table. Siggi fought a long battle with his health this past year and never gave up until the very end. He will be greatly missed by all of his family and friends.

He is also survived by his sisters: Eugi Hoenke, Emmy Schafer, Ulla Schafer and by brothers Wilhelm Kopp and Horst Kopp. He is predeceased by his parents Wilhelm and Alvina Kopp, sisters Lotta Harmes and Erika Korner.
