It's been a long, long time, Pep, since you arrived on board KTAR as the new President and General Manager. I was one of those on the Sales welcoming committee -- and I have been retired from channel 12 for 23years! I know that none of the current staff would remember me, but that is unimportant. I just want the family and crew to know that I share their grief and deep sense of loss.

Dear Cooney family:
Words seem hollow now; however, I am certain that Pep's presence will remain felt in your family and his extended media family in the Phoenix community for years to come. He was a distinguished man, a formidable businessman, and a gentle man.
I so enjoyed my work with him in the community, and the times I worked with the staff at Channel 12 while he was its general manager. He made an impact.
My prayers will include you.

"Pep"
He was a man of class. When I worked at KBBC/ KTAR Mr. Cooney took the time to show me a general manager can be a man of class, trust and a friend at the same time. Thanks to Mr. Cooneys family we had a chance to meet and work with the "Best of the Best.

My deepest sympathy to the Cooney family. As a long time resident of the valley, I always appreciated Mr. Cooney's 'editorials' even if at times I disagreed. The leadership he gave to channel 12, and his service to the community will have a lasting impact. May your faith keep you strong at this time and always.
God bless you all.
