JEROME COOPER Obituary

COOPER--Jerome. It is with a heavy heart that we say farewell to our family patriarch at 86 years of age, Jerome Cooper. He has provided for us a heritage filled with love, respect and great honor being a role model to his children Karen, Paul, and Jonathan; their spouses Barry, Barbara, and Karen; eight golden grandchildren, Rachel, Danny and Amy; Brett, Perri and Bradley; Beth and Sam. His wife, Iylene standing firm at his side will always remember his love for Ohio State University and the many friends he always carried within his heart. He loved arguing cases in the courtroom and his presidency at Green Triboro and Jamaica Buses. Protecting his many employees was always a priority. Various ailments eventually led to the loss of playing golf, but he filled his time reading hundreds of historical volumes. We will miss his great sense of humor, his mind that was so on target and of course, his handsome baby blue eyes. He will be laid to rest in the Cooper Family Circle Plot in New Jersey, but he'll never be far from the hundreds who love him. Services Friday at 9:30am at Temple Israel of Lawrence; 140 Central Avenue, Lawrence, NY 11559.

Dear Iylene and Family, I'd like to thank Jerry and the Cooper family for giving me the opportunity to work for GBL. Because of that gift, my wife and I are living quite comfortably with benefits and a decent retirement, as are several hundred others. It was a pleasure and an honor to have known Jerry. There will always be a special place in our hearts for the Cooper family. Badge #380

Please accept my sympathies to the Cooper family. Throughout the 1990's, while I was associated with Jerry in the transit industry, he taught me even more by his grace and good humor than the towering example he set as a leader. Jerry was always very generous with his time, his wonderful stories and his brilliant smile. I will miss him and always remember him.
