Last night, I got a phone call from Anita Cooper, Coop's wonderful wife, to let me know the sad news that Billy had recently passed away. Coop was no stranger to these parts although he hasn't been too active in recent years.
After BSing with Coop on-line for many years, I finally met him and Anita at one of the ST events down in Taos back in '08. You always wonder how someone's real life persona matches up with their on-line counterpart and in Coop's case it was a pretty close match. Coop was a big guy with an even bigger heart and had one of those laughs that would fill a room. Five minutes after meeting him it was like he was a life-long friend. Any day with Coop in it was a good day.
