Glenn Cooper, Jr. 9/17/41–8/22/15 was an avid outdoor enthusiast and whether he was hunting or fishing, Glenn made it an exciting trip. Glenn was also one of the most compassionate and giving of people you could ever meet. Glenn was known for helping out those in need when no one else would. He was a great asset to Bay county and someone who enjoyed the Gulf of Mexico and fishing on it as much as anyone.
Glenn “Bubba” Cooper, III 4/1/65–12/22/11, was the son of Glenn and Sylvia Cooper. Bubba, like his father, loved all things outdoors. Bubba was truly a pioneer in the artificial reef industry for Bay County. Bubba was the founder of “Bubba’s Bottom Builders, Inc” a Florida corporation dedicated to making artificial reefs. No one knows how many artificial reefs Bubba made but they are still being fished and dove today by many people in the area. Bubba was one of the first people to start using chicken
