He might have referred to you as “that one there” or “that’s a good one” because he could not remember your name. We may not have understood everything he said, but he definitely did.

Survived by his wife, Opal Bishop Cooper; daughter, Lisa (Tony) Vermillion; sons, Eddie “Buster” Cooper and David (Michelle) Cooper; twelve grandchildren, two great-grandchildren, nine-brothers and sisters, and many extended family and friends.
