He attended Clinton Public School and North Hunterdon High School, where he learned auto repair. Mr. Coover was an automobile tech at Muller Toyota in Clinton for the past 5 years and had an aptitude for all things mechanical.

His family, however, was most essential to him and they will miss him dearly for his infectious smile and huge warm hugs. October 29, 2005, the day of his marriage to Christine Curtin, was the happiest day of his life.
