Jack Cooper was not only the Squad lawyer for many years, but he was a Charter Member because when the Squad wanted to assemble he was a young lawyer and his law firm said you will help them and also be a member. Jack held many positions on the Squad not to mention President and Captain.

Jack was a huge supporter of the Squad and Summit. Truly a kind gentleman that will be so deeply missed at the Squad and the Summit community. Our prayers and love to his wife Millie.

Godspeed Jack, your incredible work is done, we will take it from here.

We have it from here Mike.
