Locating a family to return medals

Hiya! I've come across some medals with nothing more than the name "Jim Cooperwhite" on the bag. It was given by someone's aunt who found it in her home. She says that it belonged to her late husband who had purchased it, possibly before they were married, and doesn't want it. I did some digging and found a Cooperwhite family in Milton and an obituary for a James "Jim" who passed in 2006.

Would anyone in or around Milton know the Cooperwhite family and can verify if these are his? We'd like to return these to the family of the service member.

Not 100% sure where he served but there is a Volunteer Service Medal. We think he was RCOC in the Articifer trade.

Thanks!
