"Mr. Cooper was a director of Goodwill Industries Inc., past president of the Insurors of Nashville, past treasurer of the Insurors of Tennessee and a member of the Sertoma Club. He was a member of St. Bartholomew's Episcopal Church.

I believe that I met Bill and his wife during one of our trips to Nashville. At that time, he was a paraplegic possibly from an accident. The two girls were adopted twins, of which one was blind. I remember thinking what a lot Mrs. Cooper had on her plate with the care of husband and children. -- LKL
