In Loving Memory of Our Dad, Grandad and Great-Grandad Stanley Thomas Cooper It is with great sadness that we say goodbye to our much-loved Dad, Grandad and Great-Grandad, Stanley Thomas Cooper, who passed away at the age of 86. Dad was a proud and disciplined man who served with the Grenadier Guards, No. 4 Company, 1st Battalion, in 1960 and was on operations in South Cameroon. His time in the Guards was something he was rightly proud of, and the values of loyalty, strength and discipline stayed with him throughout his life. But behind that proud exterior was an incredibly kind, caring and loving man. Dad had a fantastic sense of humour and could make us laugh with his stories, his wit and simply by being himself. He had a wonderful character and a way of making an impression on everyone who knew him. To me, he was simply Dad — the one person who would always be there, always care and always have something to say. I will forever be grateful for the love, guidance and memories he gave me throughout my life. He was a much-loved father-in-law to Matthew, a very special Grandad to Daniel and Rebecca, and a treasured Great-Grandad to Oliver and Jesse. Seeing his family grow was something that meant so much to him, and he will live on through all of us. There are no words that can truly express how much we will miss him. His place in our family can never be filled, but the memories, laughter and love he gave us will remain in our hearts forever. The values and discipline from his time in the Grenadier Guards were instilled in our lives and for that we are truly grateful. Dad, you were one of a kind.You were proud, strong, funny, kind and caring — and above all, you were loved. Rest peacefully, Dad.You will never be forgotten, and you will be loved forever.

A tribute to my Dad, Stanley Cooper

Dad, I don't think there will ever be enough words to say what you meant to me, or how much I am going to miss you. You were my Dad, my family, my constant — and although you could be a very proud and disciplined man, especially after your time in the Grenadier Guards, I knew the softer side of you too. Beneath that strong exterior was a man with an enormous heart. You were incredibly kind and caring, and you always cared deeply about the people you loved. You had a fantastic sense of humour and could make us laugh, often when we needed it most. Those little moments, your stories, your sayings and your sense of fun are the things I know I will find myself remembering again and again. I was so proud to call you my Dad. You were also so proud of your family. You loved being a Grandad to Daniel and Rebecca and a Great-Grandad to Oliver and Jesse. Watching you with them created memories that I will treasure forever. They will grow up knowing how much they were loved by you and how special you were. Dad, losing you leaves a space in my life that nobody can ever fill. There will be so many times when I will want to pick up the phone, tell you something, hear your voice or share a laugh with you. I know those moments will be difficult. But I also know that I have a lifetime of memories to hold onto. I will remember your smile, your humour, your strength, your kindness and, of course, your proud and stubborn side too — because that was you, and I wouldn't change a thing. Thank you for being my Dad. Thank you for all the love, all the memories, all the laughter and everything you taught me. I hope you knew, every single day, just how much you were loved. Sleep peacefully, Dad. Once a Grenadier, always a Grenadier, I will love you forever, and I will miss you more than words can ever say. Your loving daughter, Jeannette
