Mr. Cooper, or "Eskimo" will be missed. He has been around a long time. I remember him in a lot of funerals for people in my family. I think he went to school with my mother, Arthur Louise Johnson. Also, My most memorable memory of him is when he and my uncle, Rev. Joseph West, got lost trying to find a church and burial site somewhere across the river. Eventually, they found it. He was a very nice and kind man. He will certainly be missed. His family has our deepest Symphathy. Glenda Washington and Arthur Louise Johnson

As a family member I can truly say that he will be missed for he did did his job in an extremely professional way.He was always kind to all and never forgot people. I am so sorry that I did not get to visit with him when I was home this summer. In remembrance of Mr. Cooper a
lasting tribute would be to show kindness toward those we meet and live with. Rest in peace..You will never be forgotten.

To The Family,
Mr. Cooper was such a special, kind and sweet person, he always tried to help others when he could, and believed in giving to others. He didn't have a selfish bone in his body. He held a special place in the hearts of The Tucker Family. We will miss him dearly. Mr. Cooper, take your rest, to the family, may god bless you and strengthen you during your hour of bereavement.
