I extend my heartfelt condolences to Mr Cooper's family. My name is Charles Watson and Mr Cooper was like a farther to me and my friend Evander Holyfield. We were raised in Summerhill and attended EPJohnson and Martin Luther King Moddle School. Mr Cooper taught us how to be a Man by giving us the tools to be successful in Sports and in the classroom. He taught us discipline and hard work through drills and practices in Sports. He pushed us by allowing us to compete for daily positions in leadership roles. You couldn't be a leader if you were not the best in what you were trying to lead. So, we competed everyday to become the best in all of the games and sports. I will Miss him dearly. Rest In Peace. Charles Watson SR
