Longtime Whitewater resident Rollie Cooper celebrated his 90th birthday on October 30. A surprise drive-by parade of family and friends, organized by his son Bill, wished him a happy birthday as they passed by Rollie and his wife Nancy’s home on Walworth Avenue on Friday afternoon. The police led the procession of nearly 30 cars with lights and sirens. The parade also featured Rollie’s tractor pulling a hay wagon filled with more well-wishers. Rollie’s good friend and horse, Jim, was the Grand Finale.
Nancy and their daughter Amy also organized a surprise card shower for Rollie.
