Daddy Cooper was the only person that gave me such a unique nickname. He used to call me "Bones" because I was so skinny growing up. I remember recently when he was in the hospital and he was upset with the doctors and nurses, he said "Ey Bones I'll give you 75 cents if you go around the corner and get that Doctor for me!" And after he said that he just burst into laughter. I will miss his laugh so much and just hearing the sound of his voice saying "Bones". I'm also going to miss just touching his hair and rubbing his head while he was in the hospital because he just had the prettiest hair. Although I'm hurt that I will never see him again, I find comfort in knowing that he's no longer hurting and he can finally be free.
I will always love you Daddy Cooper,
Bones <3

"Tootie Fruity!!" Daddy Copper used to just scream that every time I saw him! (I laugh now just remember his voice). Daddy Copper was such a wise man, someone who just loved to talk and laugh with the biggest smile on his face. I will never forget the time I broke my arm, I was crying so loud and he just yelled at me! But the way he yelled, put me at ease, a feeling of safety by just him even being there for me. I love and will miss you Daddy Cooper. I will always be your Tootie Fruity. Love you

There are many gifts that a father can give to his daughter. However, one of the gifts that my father gave to me ultimately became “the gift that keeps on giving”. My father taught me how to cook. As a little girl I would stand at his side and watch him cook many meals which included collard greens, neck bones, and every part of a chicken’s anatomy! My favorite ultimately became collard greens. He taught me every step involved from washing them to coking them in ham hocks. Of course this is southern style.
I had a little toy stove and an Easy Bake Oven that I used while I helped him to cook. I can clearly remember him giving me one of the leaves from the greens, watch me wash it, and put it in my little collard green pot (which wasn’t real of course) and cook it! Once the greens were done he let me know that they were ready. I remember saying to him “o.k. Daddy, let’s grease (pronounced greez)”! So as our family celebrates the life of William Cooper on this evening and fellowship at the Repass, let’s greez!

I addressed my father-in law, William T. Cooper as Daddy Cooper just like his grandchildren. He earned that honored title of “Daddy Cooper” because of his love for his family and words of wisdom from the experiences of life he shared with anyone who would listen from the University of Life. Daddy Cooper was a man’s man. From dapper dresser, yes he was always clean, to a praiser of good home cooked southern food. “Don’t burn the pots!” Daddy Cooper loved his wife, children, grandchildren and great grandchildren no matter what. He loved them so much that he never hesitated to provide guidance, advice or words of correction. As strong as Daddy Cooper was on the outside, he was a gentle giant on the inside. To my wife he would often say, “Hey Nese, hey Nese cook me a pot of greens or bake me an apple pie.” Or to my sister-in-law, “Hey Thenia, hey Thenia bake me a chocolate cake.”
Daddy Cooper earned my admiration and respect because he had no tolerance for people who played games or messed in anyway with his family. I was his son-in-law but Daddy Cooper always referred to me as Elder Dottin and not as son-in-law or just James. He didn’t have to do it but he did. I cannot think of a time when I was in his presence Daddy Cooper didn’t ask, “How is Mother Dottin doing?” One will never know how good that made me feel on the inside that Daddy Cooper would remember my mother even in her senior years.
Thanks you Daddy Cooper for raising and sharing your life lessons with your daughter Sartreina who you fondly called Nese. She is such a beautiful, gifted, intelligent, strong and deeply caring woman who learned from the master chef how to cook those greens at your kitchen table. If it wasn’t for Nese, I would have never known such a great man’s love for his family.
Thank you Daddy Cooper! Thank you so much for teaching me to love my family unconditionally!

My deepest condolences to Uncle Tee's children, grandchildren, siblings and friends. My greatest memory of him was in my childhood. He introduced me to fried chicken livers, always made jokes, singing and always made everyone smile. May he rest peacefully.

In loving memory of a man who would make me laugh every time I would be in his presence. Always had a kind word or two that was uplifting and encouraging. He will truly be missed. To the Cooper family - treasure the memories and hold them close to your heart. May God comfort you and sustain you during this time of sorrow but know this one thing "earth has no sorrow that heaven can not heal". Love you, Gina

Prior to your passing you brought up the time when we asked you to take us to see the Jackson 5 at Boston Garden. That probably was in 1970 or so, but they were the newest hottest group around and it would be their first time here. That was a night that I'd never forget, from the outfits me and my sister wore( blue & red jumpsuits) to the girl with the two crazy ponytails running up on state and being dragged off., and you of course with your black slacks & black leather jacket and afro that was on point! When we asked you to take us, you never hesitated and said "sure I'll take yall". That was my first concert ever and one that will forever remain with me. I had the best time of my life! Thank you Daddy

My first memory of my grandfather is in the same place my childhood began: my grandmother's kitchen. We would sit and watch TV together and sing the K9 Advantix jingle, "Ain't No Bugs On Me," every time the commercial came on- that was our thing. After singing, Daddy would erupt in a hearty laugh as sort of a finale. Another significant memory I have of Daddy Cooper was when he and my grandmother came from Roxbury to Milton for a Grandparent's day event at my Catholic Elementary school. As a child, I felt like Daddy Cooper ought to have been excited for the event and I expected him in attendance. However, as a young woman I now see that Daddy probably couldn't have cared less about Grandparents day or my Catholic School, but he came because he wanted to make me happy. It is that effort and kind hearted gestures that made Daddy the lovable man that he was and will forever be in our hearts, and not to mention the fastest talker I've ever known. Thank you for making me smile, Daddy. Love you.
