Cooper

Dick Cooper, 78, went home to be with his Lord on Friday, April 26, 
His last words were "I'm Going Home!" What a blessing!

Dick was superintendant the Bronte Park and Course for 11 years, 
then returned to his first love of oil drilling and consultant until
he retired.

Funeral service was held at 10 a.m. Monday, April 29, 2002, at 
Central Baptist Church.  Burial followed in Fairview Cemetery. 

He was preceded in death by his son, Danny, his parents, two brothers, 
and a sister.

Survivors are his wife Marjorie; four daughters, Andra and Mike Arrott
and Shalon and Randy Gibbs, all of Bronte, Sherri Eberl of San Antonio 
and Dicki Lyn Cooper of Ballinger; three sons, Donald and Mary Jane 
Cooper and Ronald Cooper, all of Bronte, and Robbie and Nes Cooper of 
Vernon; five brothers; three sisters; eighteen grandchildren; eight 
great-grandchildren.

We will remember the great love and devotion he possessed, his love 
and concern for others and his ability to make things right.  
Thank you, Sweetheart, for loving and caring for us.  We love you now 
and for always!
                                               Your Family

Don't worry about your "Marj" now
Don't you shed another tear
We'll take care of her for you
'Cause God knows we need her here
We know that you're at peace now 
Tho' it's hard to be apart 
Just know that 'til we meet you
We embrace you with our hearts.
