Comedy writer and author Jeffrey Gurian wrote on Facebook that Cooper was a legend and that he had the honor of working with him. Gurian recalled that he and Cooper once went out to Las Vegas and went backstage to visit Jerry Lewis. Gurian added:
"There was something to be said about making people laugh in those days, that led to longevity! I guess that's why they say that laughter is truly the best medicine! R.I.P. Pat, you were one of the greatest!!!"
