Dr. Copeland was my grandmother Jesse Hurt Wood's cousin. I had the pleasure of meeting him and his wife years ago, and he struck me as such a kind, intelligent, and devoted person. I know he will be sorely missed by family and community.

One of the gentlest souls I have ever met. Both he and your mother are part of my own past and that I had them in my life is precious to me. Love to the Copeland family. Wish I could be there for the service, but I will be thinking of you all.

My codolences to Dr. Copeland's family from a former student. Only a surgery keeps me away from the memorail service.

Luther and his family went to Japan on the same ship with me and my family to begin our careers as missionaries in 1949. We remained friends through the years. I last visited with him and Louise in Raleigh while he was no longer able to carry on a conversation but could indicate when he understood what we were saying. Even his silent responses showed forth his love. He was a great Christian!

I first met Luther and his family in 1960 in South Korea. I was a member of a BSU Summer Missions team and a part of our responsibility was leading a VBS for missionary kids and Luther's kids. It was a lot of fun and Luther spent some time with us. A few months later I was a student of his at the "Original" Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary where I learned more about the ecumenical movement and the importance of participating in that event as a Baptist.
Luther was an excellent teacher, good friend and a consistent supporter of the rights of all persons. He will be missed by those of us he taught and befriended.
