This just in: health advocates die. Experts unsure of cause.

Having been a Surgeon General was of no help in the end!

True story — Chick Coop operated on me in 1977 when I was six-years-old and saved my life. I am a little sad. He was a good man.

Guess he didn’t push the botton on his life alert fast enough

A good man. RIP, General.

"Koop is survived by his wife, three children and eight grandchildren. His first wife died in 2007."

Wait. Did he really remarry at age 90 plus?

If he was OK with Ronaldus Maximus he was certainly good enough for me.

Sang a song for him once. Standing on the sidewalk, outside the hotel he was staying at in Philadelphia (now the Doubletree, had a different name back in 1981). With a bunch of fairly inebriated medical students.

He didn’t come to his window.

RIP Dr. Koop.

He was 96, obviously a crocodile hunting accident to take someone so young.

He was the very model of the modern surgeon general.

He wrote a book or two with Francis A. Schaeffer.

Whatever Happened to the Human Race, was one.

He served with honor and distinction. He brought dignity to that office and made positive contributions to our nation’s health care system. RIP, Dr. Koop.
