Dear George; Lisa and family,
we would like to extend our sympathy on the passing of your father. . Prayers for the family! John & Anita Chamoun

He was an amazing surgeon with a beautiful spirit. Im not sure what we will do without him. I worked with him many years ago. I then became his patient. Im not sure who to turn to now. He is irreplaceable.

Dr.Cooper was well respected by all who knew him. He always took the time to listen and have a funny story to share.
We who worked with him were so fortunate to have known him, certainly Kent Hospital is a better place because of people like him.
Deepest sympathy to all of his family.

I am saddened to hear the news of Dr. Cooper's passing. Being a former member of the Open Heart Team at RIH, I had the privilege of working with Dr. Cooper for several years. His dedication and caring manner to his patients and the surgical team will not be forgotten. I wish to extend my condolences to the Cooper Family.
May you Rest in Peace Dr. Cooper.

Dr Cooper was a true inspiration and influence in my early medical school training at RI Hospital. In later years he was always available to help a patient even when his colleagues passed on them. That commitment, focus and compassion taught me so much. Thank you!

I worked with Doc for many years at RIH,and in the lab.He will be truly missed.A great story teller.'Bert and I'Rest in peace

I had the privilege of working with Dr. Cooper at RIH for many years. He was always smiling, treated everyone respectfully. He knew everyone on a first name basis always making people feel valued. He had a comical side to him that was unique to him. Dr. Cooper carried himself with dignity, however he was a very down to Earth person. He will be missed by many. RIP my friend.
