Sorry to hear about this. My condolences to all. Gordon and my maternal Grandparents (Adam Jackson and Mary Sue Warner Cooper had 7 grandchildren. Gordon, me, Dale Cooper, Kerry E Haimes, Larry Cooper, Diane Cooper and Sherry Ann Haimes in that order. Gordon was a little over 7 years older than me but when I came along in a little over 2 years there were 5 of us which lasted for several years before the girls came along. Gordon came and lived with our mutual grandparents for roughly 2 years so he could finish high school at Louisville, Mississippi. For some reason he was to bring me lunch one day. He handed me two hamburgers. I ate them both. He didn't say anything but later I was told that one of the hamburgers was supposed to be his lunch. I have a lot of stories but no space. Terry Michael Haimes
My God be with Dixie and Jacki during this difficult time, prayer Eddie Powell
A very favorite classmate of the 1957 Louisville HS class.
He was a dedicated family man. They will miss him.
