It was great seeing Thomas at the last few reunions. He spoke so fondly of his wife Sylvia. He was always the life of the class of 62. I will always remember how he used to "mess up" our typing papers left in the typewriters during fire drills but that was part of the fun we used to share.
May God sustain you all during this difficult time.

Dear Cooper Family, The Lord Bless You and keep you. Knowing Tommy all of my life from the first grade in school and having shared the same dinner table with him & Sylvia, at our last school reunion July 2003, my heart is so sad to think of him no longer with us. But Tommy being saved by his belief in Jesus Christ,will have a safe life now and we look forward to our REAL REUNION, we when we all get to heaven ! For now please take comfort in the assurance of God,from Psalms 145:18 "The Lord is near to all who call upon Him,to all who call upon Him in truth." Our thoughts and prayers are still with you. You are not alone. God loves you and so do we. patricia miller(class of '62), Mrs. Annie Lois Miller & Shirley.

To the Cooper Family,
You have my sympathy and sincere prayers for your comfort in your period of grief. Know that there are so many people who care for you and for Thomas. My memories of him go back to the days when we were in the Como High Band together. Thomas always had a smile and humorous comment to make us laugh. We will miss seeing him at the Como Reunion functions.

To the family, please accept my condolences. Although I was a 1965 graduate of Como, I knew Thomas quite well over the years as we grew up in the Como schools network.
It's quite sobering and sad to know that another one of our Comoite group is no longer with us.

Matt 5:4: Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.
Mr. & Mrs. Cooper, Sylvia and the entire family: May God’s promise of eternal life be a comfort to you at this time. As a former classmate of Thomas, I share you loss. I pray that loving memories of him will give you peace and sustain you as God heals your hearts.
God bless you.

My memories of you will always be that winning smile that warms the heart and your love for children. When we were kids you would chase us of all through Aunt Helen's house just to keep us laughing and you didn't have to do it because you were a "teenager" and we were just little kids under you but that didn't stop you from playing with us because you were real, never phony. You are loved and missed greatly.
Your Cousin
