Mr. Cooper, age 94 and a resident of Natchitoches passed away Thursday, July 17th in Natchitoches, LA. He was born May 23, 1920 in Mississippi to the late Mabel and Chester Cooper. He proudly served in the United States Army and was a veteran of World War II. During his military career, he learned the air and refrigeration trade. Upon completion of his military duty, he worked in the A.C. and refrigeration appliance field, but ultimately he used his skills to teach at Northwest Louisiana Technical College for many years.
