Obituary: James Michael Cooper (Mike to his family, Michael to his friends and colleagues) died , 23, 2021, at Calvary Hospital in the Bronx following a protracted illness. He was 78. Fiercely independent to the end, he is remembered by family and friends as a multi-talented and passionate soul, a generous friend, a voracious consumer of arts and culture, and above all, a free spirit. His indelible presence will be sorely missed. He was born in Clinton, Oklahoma on 21, 1943 to parents Woodrow (Woody) Leon Cooper and Mary Virginia Gray. He attended grade school in four different towns in Oklahoma before his family settled in Odessa, Texas, where he completed his secondary schooling, graduating from Permian High School (subject of the book, movie, and TV series Night Lights) in 1961. An accomplished musician, thanks to his mothers tutelage, Michael played woodwinds in both the All State Orchestra and the All State ing Band while at Permian. He was also adept at the piano, a skill that was in particular demand later in life at family reunion singalongs. He matriculated at Rice University in Houston, Texas in 1961 with a five-year double major in architecture and foreign languages, graduating with a Bachelor of Arts degree in 1966. While at Rice, as a member of The Rice Players, an on-campus theatrical troupe, his creative talents blossomed, and his fondest memory of those years was his time spent in the Players company. Two of his favorite roles were Hortensio (The Taming of the Shrew) and Polixenes (The Winters Tale). The 1964/65 New York Worlds Fair provided the opportunity he so eagerly craved to further spread his wings, and he spent those two summers working at the fairs Texas pavilion and soaking up arts and culture in the City that Never Sleeps. Following his graduation from Rice, Michael worked briefly as an FM radio announcer at KRBE, one of Houstons only two classical music stations at the time, before heading to New York City to make his permanent home. He supported himself in those early years as a computer programmer before dropping out of the 9-to-5 world to work freelance out of his home, typing, editing, and polishing manuscripts ranging from fiction to academic dissertation, and everything in between. The highlight of this phase of his career was the publication, with his friend Andy, of An Astrological Index to the Worlds Famous People (Michael Cooper and Andrew Weaver, Doubleday & , Inc., 1975), which served as a comprehensive reference long before the advent of the internet. As technology evolved past the typewriter, he enthusiastically took up word processing, which propelled him back into the workplace. To make a pretty long story reasonably short, he found himself, eventually, in the Municipal Bond Department of the storied investment banking firm Goldman Sachs, where he rose to the rank of Vice President for Presentation Management. There, his programming and organizational skills, his alacrity at the keyboard, and his unstinting attention to detail all came to full fruition. He set the linguistic and typographic standards and styles for all presentations coming out of the department, developed style sheets to guide the authors and his staff in enforcing them, and programmed the software to automate much of the work, thereby greatly enhancing not only his teams productivity but also the overall quality of the output. He referred to his team members as artists, in recognition of their dedication to the craft, and he often expressed how proud he was of their work together, often long into the night to meet the never ending deadlines, a sentiment they wholeheartedly reciprocated. Michael retired from Goldman early in the new century and devoted the rest of his life to the pursuit of his varied interests. Michaels lifelong passion was grand opera and his most cherished ambition was to become an opera singer. In the early days he would queue up overnight for standing room tickets to all the Metropolitan Opera productions and, to be as close as possible to the action, he superd (took supernumerary, i.e., extra, roles) in as many productions as possible. His most vivid memory was being onstage with one of his idols, Leontyne Price, in Samuel Barbers Antony and Cleopatra, which opened the Mets new home in Lincoln . Later he studied with famed singing teacher Stephanie Scourby and performed with the legendary Amato Opera company in Manhattans East Village. Perhaps his most memorable role there was Monostatos in Mozarts The Magic Flute. Michael adored all the music of Mozart, but his favorite opera composer was Giuseppe Verdi, and he worshipped soprano Maria Callas as the embodiment of operatic art. While he never got to see her perform on stage, he was able to experience her presence by attending the series of master classes she gave at Julliard in the early 70s. Though he never made the big time, its safe to say that Michael gave his all, heart and soul, in striving toward his dream. Michael was an avid runner from the early 70s and was a member of both the New York Road Runners club and Front Runners New York. In the early days of the New York City Marathon, when his application somehow missed the postmark deadline, he conceived and ran the Maria Callas Memorial Marathon along the old Elevated West Side Highway, which had been closed to traffic a year or two before. When the 1974 Charles Bronson movie Death Wish was shooting in New York they needed a runner to portray a hippie escaping a mob of construction workers in hot pursuit. Michael, in his freelance attire and long mane, fit the bill perfectly and his skill as a runner is immortalized in that cameo. As years of exertion began to take their toll on his knees he took up race walking, then in-line skating, and eventually bicycling and powered scootering to satisfy his need to sail along the Hudson River bike path in the middle of the night and continued... |
