11 June 1951 - 28 December 2025
It's with sadness we share the news of the passing of Robert John Cooper, who left us on 28 December 2025. Born on 11 June 1951, Robert was the son of the late Joe and Ngarie, and brother to his late siblings Gary and Sharee, and to his surviving sisters Audra and Ann. Father to Joe and Tania, and a grandfather who will be remembered by his mokopuna. His whānau formed an important part of his life, and his presence will be missed.
Rest in love
