Not sure what to say?

I remember "Coop" from going to my son's soccer games and from stories Matt told me about their friendship. Those were happy carefree days in Flint and I know "Coop" is in a carefree and loving place now. I know he lives in Matt's heart as his friend.

I was a freshman at ND when John was a senior. He and my brother, Robert, were classmates and best of friends. Many times John took me under his wing and made me feel part of the gang despite the fact that I was the kid brother of his good friend, hanging on their coat tails.

My condolences to the Cooper family....I'll never forget that great laugh and how he enjoyed life...Remembering a lot of great memories as a kid when he would stop over to see our family. Truly one of a kind!

Lots of good memories about Coop. His memory is carried on with all the lives he touched. Rest in peace.

So sorry to hear of John's death. My prayers are with the family.

Thank you Love you

The world is a sadder place without John. We won't forget you. Please don't forget us. Rest in Peace.

I first met him 26 years ago working for Joey Richvalsky. I was always entertained by his gusto for life. I have very fond memories of the Gannett parties and other gatherings. He was so much fun. I remember being at a party and he was like come sit on my lap Carrie, I have to say I was a little hesitant (can't imagine why), but I...

john gave me one of the finest moments of my life, right up there with my marriage, the births of my children, we shared uncontrollable laughter for 15 minutes and to this day I am not sure what we laughed about he will be forever in my heart
