Not sure what to say?

Hello, my name is Cornelius Cooper.
I am a friend of Gray. We worked at Georgia power company together. We had a great time a great working relationship. They talk about this beautiful Wife lori And beautiful kids. He loved them dearly. We talked about his time in service and we would laugh. When he would say that his sergeant In the army would called him ikus. And we would laugh about my name because it was so long We talked about good times and bad times at work But I know the time I...

We have been fortunate to share many experiences with the Eaker family. Their lives have touched us and our girls for good. May peace be with you in the absence of your loved one. Grey leaves behind a great legacy!

I am grateful for Greg and all of his wonderful family. Growing up in Rome, the Eaker’s were some of my favorite people and having Greg as a Bishop was a blessing that I will always appreciate. He is a great man and a great example to all who know him. I’m certain he’s working hard on the other side and is smiling down at the legacy he created and the lives he’s touched. He will be missed but I know we will see him again. Thanks for the memories Greg.

As a missionary in 1998, the love and support shown by Greg (and Lori) was significant. Greg was always open and kind, willing to help out whenever he could. When we taught at a church in Cave Springs, he was right there to fellowship and build friendships never meeting a stranger as new people were instant friends. I admired him immensely. May your family have peace and remember all the good you have done in this life. Big hugs to you, Lori!

When I was a young father, I knew Greg from Church. I was struggling with somethings, and he gave me his ear and good advice reminding me to focus on the things that mattered most. His encouragement helped me a lot. I am very thankful that I have counted him as a friend and mentor.

Brother Eaker and family we love you! A spiritual giant, full of wonder and life and kindness. Sister Eaker and family we send our hugs and love. You are such a sweet family.

I am so very sorry for your lost you are in my prayers.love you know that you and your family are in my prayers.

Mr. Eaker was a great friend to me in many of my heart aches of life. Mr. Eaker you will never be forgotten and I will forever be thankful to call you my friend. I will see you again one day my friend
