Dr. Robert A. Cooper Jr., who directed the division of cytology and surgical, obstetrical and gynecological pathology at the University of Oregon Medical Center from 1961 to 1969, died of a heart attack March 19 in a Rochester, N.Y., hospital. He was 59.
Dr. Cooper was professor of oncology and director of the University of Rochester Cancer Center. He was instrumental in establishing the center in 1974, one of the first regional cancer centers created as a result of the National Cancer Act of 1971. As the center's first director, he organized a patient-empowering, cooperative-community-hospital system that was subsequently adopted by other cancer centers including the Pittsburgh Cancer Institute and the Arizona Cancer Center.
Dr. Cooper was born Aug. 27, 1932, in St. Paul, Minn. He attended Stanford University and received a bachelor's degree in chemistry from the University of Pennsylvania in 1954. He received his medical degree from Jefferson Medical College in Philadephia in 1958 and trained at the University of California Medical School Hospital in San Francisco. In 1969, he joined the University of Rochester faculty as associate dean for curricular affairs at the School of Medicine and Dentistry. He also directed the Division of Surgical Pathology.
He served as an external adviser for the Lombardi Cancer Center at Georgetown University, Washington, D.C., and the University of California at San Diego Cancer Center.
Dr. Cooper is survived by his wife, Stephanie Coffey Krupinsky Cooper of Rochester; sons, Timothy and Theodore of Rochester, and Robert A. III of Providence, R.I.; mother, Theodora Cooper Yarborough of San Diego; sisters, Sally Borg of La Jolla, Calif., and Kathleen Mellena of Portland; brother, John of Portland; and five stepchildren, Mary Krupinsky of Newburgh, N.Y., E.J. Krupinsky of Boston, Kathleen Krupinsky of Strattham, N.H., Karen Krupinsky of San Diego, and Michael Krupinsky of Winter Park, Colo.
Services were held March 23 in St. Louis Church, Pittsford, N.Y. Burial was in Pittsford Cemetery.
The family requests that remembrances be contributions to the University of Rochester Cancer Center, Box 704, 601 Elmwood Ave., Rochester, N.Y. 14642.
