I thouroughly enjoyed Pastor Cooperrider's sermons! He bared his soul in relating the Bible to our present day life making the message more clear. We joined and our children were baptized, sang in the children's choir directed by Barbara, then enjoyed my brother with his family and parents attending as well. Even after we moved, we continued to attend Candlelight Service every year. Pastor Cooperrider was a joy to know.

I will always remember Uncle John's Christ-like qualities of kindness, genuine love and care, gentleness, support, forgiving nature, integrity, standing up for truth... I have fond memories of Christmas as his house, sitting on his lap with books, calling him with questions on apologetics and the relaxing pontoon boat rides.

I remember Reverand Cooperrider as grandstand denizen through most of my athletica career and afterwards as asource of inspiration. The testament to his devotion to God is his wonderful family. My prayers are with all of you, especially John whom I participated in many an athletic event with. God Bless You Bernie Casey
