Dean Marshall Kopp, “Pip”, of Colchester, passed away unexpectedly from natural causes on Wednesday (Jan. 31, 2018) at Hartford Hospital surrounded by his children and loving wife, Raylene. Born Dec. 2, 1948 in Norwich, he was the son of the late Helen (Dean) Kopp Goulet and Franklin Kopp. A lifelong resident of Colchester, he was a 1966 graduate of Bacon Academy.
