Robert "Bob" F. Cooper of Sun Lakes, Arizona, formerly of Pittsford, New York, passed away at age 86 on May 16, 2022, in the care of his loving family. He is survived by his Wife of 58 years, Ann; his daughter, Karin Cooper (David) Rompalo; his son, Todd Cooper (and Gina Moussa); step-grandson, John Rompalo; all of Arizona; extended family; and many dear friends. He was predeceased by his parents, Melvin and Mary Cooper and his brother, Dr. M. Thomas Cooper.
Bob graduated from East High School, Rochester, New York, class of 1954, and Belmont Abbey College, Belmont, North Carolina. He also served in the U.S. Army National Guard Reserves. His career was in Marketing Communications, and he retired in 1999 after 34 years with Kodak.
His life centered around family and friends. He was always there with a smile, a twinkle in his eye, and ready for a new adventure. The storytelling, laughter, and friendship he shared so freely with others will always be cherished in memories of him. He was truly one of a kind and someone who will forever hold a place in our hearts. In recent years, he faced his battle with Parkinson’s Disease and other health issues with dignity, courage, and positive energy to “just keep moving”. The family would like to give special thanks to the entire staff at Kindred-At-Home and to caregivers from Doves for their quality and compassionate assistance — and for all the laughs along the way.
Services were held on Wednesday, July 27, 2022, with a private interment.
