George Cooper

He was always Georgie to me. My cousin was seven years older and my role model. He lived in Elm Grove, WI, and I was in Wheeling, WV. I have so many happy memories especially from when we were young. A few of my favorites are: the University of Wisconsin sweatshirt he gave me when I was in high school; boating on Lake Michigan on the Flying Duchess, especially the smooth trip from Milwaukee to Racine and the stormy bumpy return trip to Milwaukee. Oh my, I was sick. Driving me around Wheeling in Uncle Ray’s Jaguar; taking me to see West Virginia University while he was in graduate school, WVU became my alma mater; attending a WVU-Wisconsin football game and being stranded a few days later in Madison on 9/11; and visiting Door County in 2018. He was a special gift to his family and to all of us. I miss him already and will never forget him. Rest in Peace dear Georgie. God Bless. Sending heartfelt sympathy and hugs to his family. Love, Carol

My sincere condolences to Ann and the family on the passing of cousin George. I remember as a very young boy spending time at my Uncle and Aunt’s home in Wisconsin. There George taught me how to play chess on the bar in the basement of the home. Needless to say he would beat me every game, but it was a joyous laughing time. One other memory I have is when he was visiting our home in Valley Grove where he actually hypnotized me. He will be missed. Rest in peace cousin.

My sincere condolences for the family of George Cooper. I took Mr Cooper's Psychology class at MATC back in the day. I remember thoroughly enjoying his class! I never fell asleep even once! I recognized his picture right away and I wanted to share that he was one of my favorite teachers! I am so sorry for your loss of such a great person. Kathy Seals
