Tenor sax player Leroy Cooper died on January 15 in Orlando. He was 80. I knew Leroy in DC in the 1950s and played with him a few times in the past few years. Leroy was with Ray Charles' band for many years.
Here are the funeral details:

7601 Forest City Road (Forest City Road and Riverside Drive)
Orlando, FL
A sad coincidence that Leroy and Fathead Newman should pass within a few days of each other.
