669 Officers
Robert J. Cooper Jr.
In 1986, one year after graduating high school, Bobby became a member of Local Union 669. From his start as an apprentice to his present position as Business Manager, one value has never changed and that is to give his best because the membership deserves nothing less. This value was instilled in him by his father, a 50-year member in 2018, who Bobby would like to thank for being a great role model to himself and countless others.
Married to Shannon and blessed with one son and three daughters, Bobby spends his free time watching their soccer games and going to events together as a family.
