More than 40 years ago, he brought her to work in his Park Street offices when she was just a teen. And he had the most mild, warm, kind, witty personality. Despite his long illness, Dr. Cooper continued to work, showing up at the school just last week, days before he entered hospice care. Visiting hours are from 2-9 p.m. Tuesday at Swanson's Funeral Home, West Six Mile and Hubbell in Detroit. 19190 Schaefer at 10 Mile.
Funeral services follow at noon.
