Chuck, I've often thought about you over the years and truly reget not reaching out and keeping in touch. Working in the switchroom after you retired just wasnt the same. You were a good friend and great mentor.
To Suzie and family, my deepest sympathies and may you find peace and comfort in the days ahead.

Mr. Cooper,
Sir, I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice for our Country when you served with the U.S. Army in Europe during the Cold War. Millions of Americans slept safe at night because you and your fellow Servicemen stood ready to defend our Country. And to your family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.
