Rip Brian Cooper

My uncle who some of you older racers will remember Brian Cooper passed away this morning after a short illness.

This is my grandad (L) & him ® a few years ago at one of our opens.



The last time me & Mark saw him was not long after Cara won Sup at this years straight champs and he was admiring the trophies & jacket, it's lovely that the last time we met was a happy memorable occasion and i will always remember that. He loved to hear how all the dogs were doing and came round to my grandads many times to watch the latest DVD of their races.

Hopefully Bess (Little Mary) will be there to greet him :huggles:

RIP Brian xx
