John D. Hopper was born on January 9, 1923, and attended Camp Hill High School. In 1941, Hopper enrolled at Dickinson College before joining the United States Army Air Corps as a volunteer and becoming a fighter pilot during World War II. In his freshman year at Dickinson, Hopper met and married Ann Bowman, with whom he later had four children. He returned to Dickinson after the war in 1945 and graduated in 1948. Turning down an offer to play professional basketball with the St. Louis Bombers, Hopper received his law degree in 1951 from the Dickinson School of Law.
