Gameplayer Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 Saw this on another forum. Jeff Cooper is in extremely grave condition at this hour. Previously hospitalized for possible surgery, he suffered a heart attack and was revived in the hospital.The heart muscle suffered serious damage. Prayers sent to Mr. Cooper and his family.

Pierruiggi Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 I felt really sorry when I read about this (in another forum). The only thing that consoles me is the knowledge that flesh degrades and expires eventually, but the moral and ethical standards he stands for only get stronger. I hope that he gets well, and if not, if this is his time to go, I hope he passes away with the same dignity that he lived. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dfwmiket Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 Here is what I found...... Sad news. Friends, "At the request of the family it is my sad duty to report the passing of our founder, Jeff Cooper. Jeff died peacefully at home this afternoon while being cared for by his wife Janelle and daughter Lindy. There will be a private internment at Gunsite by invitation, with a public memorial service at the Whittington Center at a date to be announced. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family. DVC, Ed Ed Head Operations Manager Gunsite Academy, Inc. 2900 W. Gunsite Rd. Paulden, AZ 86334" A moment of silence......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merlin Orr Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 Colonel Cooper will be a man of lasting influence. He had no problem of making his thoughts known and most were pretty well on the mark..IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
