Dave Cooper
Posted On: Apr 29, 2013 (12:34:32
It is with great sadness that I inform you that on Sunday April 28, 2013 at 0146 hrs David “Coop” Cooper passed away while surrounded by his loving family and caregivers. David returned home after his shift on March 8, 2013 and finalized his planned retirement date of July 1, 2013 with his wife Laurie. Five hours later David suffered a heart attack and spent his last 50 days battling Metastatic Angiosarcoma, an extremely aggressive cancer that attacked his lungs and heart. David fought bravely to the end.

Pleasant Prairie, WI pulled box 56-01 to the Box Alarm level for a fire at Dejno’s Inc @ 7533 75th St. Fire was showing on arrival from a roof top hopper unit that is used to load saw dust. Winthrop Harbor, IL went change of quarters to Pleasant Prairie Sta.1 and Newport 1415 went to the scene. Mutual aid companies also came from Bristol, Somers, Kensoha, and Salem. One FF was slightly injured and was treated and released at the scene. Extensive overhaul had to be done to make sure all of the smoldering dust was extinguished.
