Fred Adolphus Cooper

Many blessings to the family. I recall Mr. Cooper as my principle at Bowler in 1975 when I was in the 6th grade. It wasn't easy for many of us as Richmond started busing within those short years. I recall my time at Bowler having the school to ourselves with Mr. Cooper as our Principle. I may have been only 11 and 12 years old but I recall the wonderful teachers teacher I had that was under Mr. Cooper. Mr Cooper was always kind, attentive, and caring toward me as growing us was difficult in those times. He was always kind, caring and more than anything attentive. He genuinely cared about each and every one of us. a I'm sorry I waited so long to think of him after all these years. |I'm sure he is with our Lord, and maybe, hopefully, I will see him again and tell him how much I'm grateful that he was my principle, and thank him for watching over all of us with great care. I'm for the family's loss, but it will short lived for Heaven is eternal. Much love because he gave us the same, love.

I use to work for The Cooper's in the office of their staffing agency. I learned so much from the Coopers. They were soft spoken and expectations high. They wanted to see those in their employ grow. I am grateful to have known an amazing man.

Charmaine & Lawrence, Words cannot express how sad I was to hear of Uncle Fred's passing. He was such a beautiful person and loved by so many. We all will miss him, but I know you will miss him more. We are praying for strength and comfort for you both. Love you!❤

Words are inadequate to express my great fondness of Mr. Fred A. Cooper. He and family, Charmaine, Lawrence and Mama Florence Janie were a source of love, foundation and genuineness during my high school and college years at Virginia Union University. When they said family, that included me. My heart is heavy but I know he rest with our Lord Jesus Christ. My prayers for peace and condolences to the family. Portia H. Lacy and Family - Griffin, GA

Thank God for allowing this man to mentor so many young people. Job well done! Rest in peace.

Dear Lawrence and family, My sister and I have known your dad since we were little girls at the former Morgan Park Assembly Church here in Chicago. He and Sister Rose had such love for the saints, and for children. Brother Fred was a gentle giant; soft spoken, eloquent, yet deliberate. He will be surely missed.

Blessings,

Jacqueline and Katherine Dawkins
