I remember going with my Father to Cooper's store and talking college football, usually AL vs FL and such. When the Blanton family experienced loss, Mr. Cooper was always there to express his condolences and help in any way that he could. The world truly lost a remarkable man, and he will be sorely missed. With Regards, Nicholas Blanton Mr. Cooper was, and always will be, the kind of man that those of us who carry on can look up to and aspire to be.

And as a Student them 1997-1999 we would go every morning before school let in to hang out with our friends. That was the place to go before and after school most every day. Everybody who was anyone would go there to chill. And Mr. & Mrs. Cooper never had a problem.. Now me as an adult I still go there to buy things. My children love it. No matter who the owner is now, or will be in the future, it will always be Cooper's... We will always miss Mr. Cooper. Rest in Peace.

Next to God, he loved his family and in the 16 years I have known that family I have seen that in many ways. I am Blake Gilmore's other grandmother and I am so glad he did not have to suffer anymore. I know when that day comes, he will be in heaven. God Bless Mrs. Doris in this time of her great loss. Mr Cooper was a Godly man who really practiced his religion.

Thank you to everyone who attended the funeral today, he would have been so happy to know all the people that came. But when I start to get really sad, I just think about everything he has done for me and really everyone he has ever met, he is the nicest, and sweetest man i have ever met. You will be missed. -Blake This man is my grandfather, I just can’t put into words how much i miss him, i love you papa.

I remember the 5 cent Coke a Colas, the Nehi Grapes and 4 for a penny silver bells I purchased there from time to time. I rembember my son going into the store and getting what he could with his quarters and also, getting what he wanted and leaving a ticket taped to the register until myself or my husband entered Coopers and we paid. One of the things I miss most since Coopers closed is the red rind hoop cheese that was always in the cooler (Cooper cheese as we called it.) Ms. Doris, Carl, Judy and Marion you are in our prayers, we love ya'll.
