Mr. Copes taught me at Elbert Elementary School, and greatly influenced my development. He is one of the reasons I pledged Omega Psi Phi. A black male teacher at the elementary school level. Indeed, a dying breed. RIP

My condolences to the Copes Family. Mr. Copes was my elementary school teacher many years ago and I never forgot him. I will never forget his smile and his energy in the classroom. He was a good teacher and he always showed us kids that he cared. REST IN PEACE MR COPES.
