Condolences
Condolence From: Bruce Barber, Galena, Ohio
Condolence: Brad (Pigpen) Cooperider was Neighbor, a Friend , & a Brother to the Barber Family. We met shortly after we moved to Westerville in 1969. Many good time's were spent working on cars and just hanging out on the curb on Friday nights eating Sliders (Barf Burgers) and drinking Little Kings Ale Beer. Brad was always making jokes about anything. He helped my brother Andy pick up my 1931 Model A Ford in Florida when I was shipped to Vietnam in 1972. He would drop what he was doing anytime to help you. He even offered up his house to me to hold a bachelor party for me in 1974 when I married my wife that the guys called Spookie O'l Alice. He will be sadly missed by us and all that knew him. May he rest in the arms of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. May God Bless the Cooperider Family.
Bruce & Judy Barber

Condolence: Brad and I have known each other since our early teens. We ran around with with a bunch of other boys and we tried to keep out of trouble and teach them the correct path to follow. Turns out we weren't very good teachers. But we sure had fun. So many stories I could tell. But , I won't. I will miss our phone calls, and his goofy jokes. Jodelle and I will miss Brad. He always had a smile on his face. RIP my friend

Condolence: Coopendinger always made my work weeks in Columbus eventful. I’d either look at him like he was speaking German or Shake my head and laugh at whatever one liner he would fire off. He will forever be Papa Smurf to me. Rest easy brother.

Condolence: To one of the best friends anyone could ever hoped to have ever had. You were like a brother to me. For all those people that have millions of dollars they have nothing compared to a true friendship that I had with Brad. He will be forever in my heart and I will truly miss him. Rest In Peace my friend. I love you!!!!
