It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Gary Jones Cooper, aged 89, who died peacefully on 20th May, surrounded by his devoted family.
He will be deeply missed and fondly remembered for his unwavering love of family, his passion for Rugby Union, and his gift for telling a good joke. His warmth and humour brought joy to all who knew him.
Gary is lovingly remembered by his wife Sally, his children Alyson and David, and his grandchildren George and Marcus.
“Nid marw ond huno yw mynd adref”
(“To die is not to depart, but to go home.”)
A celebration of his life will take place on 12th June at 12:45pm at Guildford Crematorium. A reception will follow at The Grantley Arms, The Street, Wonersh, Guildford GU5 0PE.
In lieu of flowers, if you would like to donate in Memory of Gary, please donate to Farnham Assist
