It is with profound sadness that the family of Dr. Charles B. Cooper Jr. — affectionately known as Morrie, Borbor, Papie, Pops, Grandpa, Grampy, G-stack$, Daddy Coop — announces his passing, in his 93rd year, at his home surrounded by family in Newark, Delaware, on Friday, July 18, 2025.
He is survived by his devoted wife of 65 years, Dr. Regina M. Cooper, eight siblings, fifteen beloved children, forty grandchildren, seven great-grandchildren, nieces, nephews, cousins, and a host of extended family members and dear friends.
As the cherished patriarch of the family and a quiet giant, his wisdom, strength, and presence will be profoundly missed by all who knew and loved him.
