    So sorry to hear of Don`s passing. Prayers to him and his family and friends who knew and loved him. I first met Don at Tallberg Chevrolet. First as a co-worker, then as a dear friend. When he left and started his own business we were so pround of him. Don was such a kind and caring soul, no one could dislike him. I will not forget your thoughfulness, great conversations and advise you have given me through the years I have known you. God Bless You

    Don was one of the best friends I've ever had. He was a truly kind person and had a great sense of humor. I used to own Dawn's Place Restaurant in Carolina Beach and he once told me , with tears rolling down his face, that the restaurant and me and my staff saved his life after Laurie left him. He said if he had not had us that he believed he wouldn't have made it. We were truly blessed to have Don in our lives and even though we didn't see each other on a regular basis after I closed the restaurant, we always called each other with a good joke or a bit of news or gossip. I'm missing him so already! I never got to tell him my last joke, so I'll just save it to tell him when I see him up in Heaven! I'll always love you, Don Cooper! Rest in peace & tell Terry & all the rest that beat us to Heaven I said "Hi"!
