To the Cooper family – Tag was one of a kind. We looked forward to seeing his van pull into our driveway delivering dairy supplies and it was a bonus when he came in for coffee to share stories and a good joke! He was a true friend. We will always appreciate his generosity to us and our desk is full of pens with “Cooper’s Dairy Supplies 1966-20??” We were loyal to Tag, purchasing our dairy supplies only from him, telling the other suppliers that we would only change suppliers when Tag retired, never imagining that we would quit before he did. We are sure that this is true of many farmers. We are very sorry that we are unable to attend his funeral service but we were able to have a visit with him in the hospital before he passed away. We will forever cherish our memories of him.
