Cooper, Frederick A. (4 January 1949 – 21 December 2008)

Frederick A. Cooper, 56, of Beloit died Sunday, Dec. 21, 2008, in his home.

He was born Jan. 4, 1949, in Black River Falls, the son of Douglas G. and Lillian Amundson Cooper. Fred was a graduate of Beloit Memorial High School. He married Bonnie Brandt Oct. 9, 1971, in Beloit.
