To Helen, Bill, Heather's family, Billy's family and all those who are grieving the loss of their loved one. Kathy and I met Helen's dad a few times and admired him and his large loving family. He was, I'm sure, a tremendous inspiration to many and will be greatly missed.
Love, Bob and Kathy Nygard##imported-begin##Bob Nygard##imported-end##

I did not know your father. I just had to read about him to see what a wonderful man he was. He has such a large loving family to carry on his legacy.
My thoughts are with you all.

Cooper Family: I was very sorry to hear about Mr. Cooper passing away. The entire Patterson Family had a tremendous amount of respect for Mr. Cooper. He was a giver not a taker and he did so much to promote Okmulgee and Okmulgee athletics. The contributions he made to his community, friends and family will last for many years. The Patterson Family is very proud to call Mr. Cooper our friend and will miss him...May God Bless the Cooper Family##imported-begin##Dale Patterson##imported-end##
