<div itemprop="description">COOPER, Kenneth Herbert <br /> <br />1924 &ndash; 2016 <br /> <br />Passed away peacefully, at the Ottawa General Hospital, on April 12, 2016, at the age of 91. <br /> <br />Loving spouse of Elizabeth Cooper for 70 years. <br /> <br />Devoted father of Kenneth Bradbury Cooper (Lyne Fournier) and Lynn Cooper-Pag&eacute; (Robin Pag&eacute;). <br /> <br />Cherished grandfather of Cassie, Krysten and Emily Cooper, Lilianne and Stefan Pag&eacute;, and Eric and Steve Villeneuve. <br /> <br />Proud great-grandfather of Lizzie Cooper, Lara and Christopher Forbes of Glenroathes Scotland, and Pailyn and Jocelyn Book of Burlington, Ontario. <br /> <br />Pre-deceased by his brother, Joseph Alan Cooper (Helena Rena). <br /> <br />Ken is a veteran of the Royal Canadian Air Force, having served in the Second World War as a Flying Officer, Wireless Air Gunner from 1943-1945 and in peacetime from 1948 &ndash; 1961. He resigned with a final rank of Flight Lieutenant &ndash;Telecommunications. For the next 20 years, Ken served in the Federal Public Service. <br /> <br />An avid outdoorsman, Ken especially enjoyed his hunting and fishing trips with friends in &ldquo;the boonies&rdquo;. He served as President of Aylmer Rod &amp; Gun Club and was an avid member of Fly Fishers Ottawa. <br /> <br />More recently, as a resident of The Perley and Rideau Veterans&rsquo; Health Centre, Ken discovered his latent artistic talents through painting, and expressed himself musically through his involvement in the Health Centre&rsquo;s choir. He was often called upon to give solo performances. He will be sadly missed by his family and many friends at the Centre, including the feathered ones whom he fed daily. <br /> <br />The family would like to thank all members of the Perley and Rideau Health Care Team for their exceptional care, and would encourage charitable gifts in Ken&rsquo;s memory to the Perley and Rideau Veterans&rsquo; Health Care Centre Foundation. Flowers may be sent to the Perley and Rideau Veterans&rsquo; Health Care Centre Reception Desk at 1750 Russell Road, Ottawa. <br /> <br /> <br /></div>
