Will always remember Hugh and his little dog. He was such a happy person. God Bless!

cynthia–thinking of you at this sad time;im so sorry.god bless you and family.vernell
I took the first mission trip of my life to Piedras Negras, MX with a group that Hugh was part of. It was amazing to experience Hugh’s desire to serve others less fortunate than us. Despite the long drive from Georgia to Mexico and the intense heat, Hugh always had great spirit in serving others.
Thank you for being a great example of the things that are important in life! I will never forget it.
My deepest sympathies in your loss of Mr. Cooper as I always knew him. When I was a new Track Supervisor on Southern Railway, he gave me much appreciated and needed advice and help, and later in the Chief Engineer’s office I had the pleasure of assisting him on various projects. It saddens me to hear of his loss.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Mr. Cooper was a great man and a valued customer. He was always very gracious and a pleasure to be around. We always looked forward to his visits. He will be sorely missed. May God bless you and may you feel his arms around you during this difficult time.

To our sweet neighbor: ever present on our street, walking Spanky.
We will miss all your stories about Clemson and Norfolk Southern, all your advise, your grass and garden how “to’s”!! Your suspender outfits. Your riding lawn mower and the perpetual overseeing of your lawn care in the summers. : Your rides to the garage in your Diesel Mercedes at 40 miles an hour,the “max”. Stopping at Chick Fil A on the way back. Your always callin’ our dog Kasey over for a visit!
You were a fabulous neighbor and a great friend. God bless..
Hello Cynthia and family: I just read of Hugh’s passing and wanted to send my sincerest sympathies. May God comfort all of you in the days and weeks ahead.
