COOPERMAN SANFORD PHILLIP (SANDY)
Age 83, died peacefully at home on Friday, November 27, 2009. Beloved husband of Vernan Cooperman. Cherished father of Andrea Solomon (Andrew) Eller, Nancy (Larry) Epstein and Felice (David) Cooperman-Fryden. Devoted step-father of Bill (Leslie) Ackerman, Nancy (Dan) Garfinkel and Holli (Joe) Novelly. Brother of Larry (Late Bernice) Cooperman and the Late Jack & Bonnie Cooperman. Loving grandfather of Josh (Lindsay) Epstein, Michael Epstein, Zachary (Allissa) Epstein, Millie Fryden, Nathan & Jordan Novelly, Ben & Eli Garfinkel, Jim & Joel Ackerman, Daniel & Adam Eller and the Late Jeffrey Solomon. Great-grandfather of Max, Jordan and Aviva Epstein. Born March 3, 1926 in Pittsburgh, Sandy graduated from Taylor Allderdice High School and the University of Pittsburgh. Forever a proud patriot, Sandy served in the US Army/Air Force, stationed in China during World War II. Founder in 1960 of Mr. Tile originally in Ford City, PA as well as Furniture World in the late 1960s, Sandy had stores in both Indiana and Kittanning. His devotion to his companies and his employees will long be remembered. Sandy volunteered for the Junior Achievement in Ford City, PA where he taught a high school economics class for over 10 years. Sandy's great passion for life and laughter, his commitment to helping others help themselves, and his enduring love and pride in his country are the core values his family gratefully learned and shared. He will be sorely missed by the many whose lives he touched. Services at RALPH SCHUGAR CHAPEL, INC, 5509 Centre Avenue, Shadyside, on Sunday at 2:30 PM.

Grandpa,

It's been almost 4 months now and I still feel like it was yesterday. It's starting to get warmer out and although many could think that it would lift sorrowed spirits I just came seem to place a smile. Today's your day off and it should be well over 50 and sunny, a perfect day to pull out our golf clubs and start Spring off right. Somedays I wonder how we get by without you, as stubborn as you and Grandma could be, and that radiant smile and witty humor. You're still my hero, my idol I pray everyday that I did everything I could to make you proud of what I've done and where life is taking me.

I miss you Grandpa and I love you today just as much as I did the first time you held me,

Nathan

Sandy made a difference in my life from the moment I met him 19 years ago. He was my first customer in my new job and will ALWAYS be my favorite customer. No one told a story or joke better than Sandy! He will be missed, but never forgotten.

Nan, my sympathy is with you. Sandy was such a nice man who was always cheerful & smiling. He has been a nice addition to our Edgetree Lane neighborhood. I know this past year has been very difficult for you in caring for him in his illness. You kept smiling through it all. Your neighbor - Lynne Norris & Jake Staton
