We would like to extend our deepest sympathy to all of the family of Carl. We worked with Carl years ago at RCA. Carl trained my husband on his first job at RCA. He was always smiling and friendly to everyone. We always called him "Coop". We lost contact after both of us left RCA but we never lost our respect & admiration for a wonderful former co-worker. We were very saddened to learn of his passing. We hope as time passes and as the sadness eases you will have lots of fond memories of Carl. Remembering all of you in our thoughts and prayers.

Dear Lousie and all the family,
I am so sorry to learn of your loss. Carl is forever in my mind as a warm and smiling man. He had something to say to everyone. You were always comfortable around Carl. Although I have not seen Carl in recent years, his smile just pops into my mind at random times. And I find myself saying "hello" to him in thought. I hope the thoughts and prayers of all your friends and family give you some comfort at this sad time.
With sympathy,
Paul Ware

My deepest condolence to the family of Carl Cooper. I will miss his warm smile and cheerful banter. We shared a lot of good laughs out on the jogging trails of Lancaster County Park.

Dear Louise and all the family,
I would like to extend my deepest and sincere sympathy to you. I was completely astounded at the news of Carl’s passing. Carl was my beloved friend while we worked at RCA together along with his brother Kenny. Carl always had that million dollar smile and laugh whenever we were together. Many days I gave him a ride to work and home because I did not want him walking or waiting so long for the bus. Carl would run along side my car and race me all the time to be so funny. I saw him at Giants one day a few years ago and we just stood and talked for so long while he was working but the best thing of all was I got to hug him and kiss him on the cheek and thanked him for being a father to me all these years.I will always carry that day in my heart as his memory and smile I will always see too.
Sincerly,
Tony DeBonis
