Hi Scott and Ian, Juli Cooper here. I was saddened to hear about your Father's passing. My husband and I were very close to John and your Mom when they lived in Lewisburg, PA. We kept in touch even after they had moved to Florida; especially sending your Dad birthday cards in December. We are sending our condolences and remember your parents fondly. The last time I/we heard from your Dad was back in January of this year where he sent us a lovely letter with a picture of Scott and family. We have all moved on beyond those wonderful times. Be well. Fondly, Juli and John Coope

John was a superb lawyer and one of the finest human beings I've known. He was a warm and loyal friend. I feel so fortunate to have known him. He and Joan gave so much back to the community in so many ways.
