Coop is such a nice guy. I remember I was walking near the Galen Center and I was on the other side of the street of him and I yelled out, "Mr. Cooper!" and he turned and waved at me. Definitely will pray for him and I hope he gets well soon.

Wishing Coop the best.

Thought he might be an assistant dark horse if Scott gets the job.

Emory University is a top facility for cancer care. Hope Coop gets well soon since this was fortunately an early diagnosis.

I know that smoking isn't always the reason for cancers, but is he a smoker or tobacco chewer?
