I’m very sad to see this news on Bob, but I remember Bob and the entire Cook family from the St. Joan of Arc school days. After that school’s closing, we lost touch with each other, but I remember Bob as a very smart and witty boy. It sure looks like he had a great family and lifetime. All of my best to the Cook family. John, Dave, Dickie; many fond memories of our time at St. Joan.
My heart goes out to Matt and Jenn and all of the Cook family. A nasty cold kept me away today but you are all in my thoughts and prayers.
Jenn & Matt so very sorry to hear of your dad’s passing. He was always so kind & hilarious. May his memory be for a blessing.
We were all saddened to learn of Bob’s passing. Our sincere condolences to the family.
Jenn & Matt,
Words can begin to express how sorry we are for your loss. Your dad was such an amazing man, always a joker! We had such a great childhood growing up together. Kristie & I always looked forward to our Saturday nights with you guys. We had so much fun no matter what we did – from the Pirates games, going to see the fireworks, to our birthday parties, Christmas time, New Year’s Eve, & we can’t forgot all of our fun beach trips together.
Our parents said they were best friends, but they were more than that – we are family ❤ Our memories of your parents are a blessing. We love you both!
Jennifer and Matthew, my words cannot express my true condolences for you and your family. We were blessed to have your family as neighbors. Your father took such good care of my mom when my dad passed away, my family and I will never forget that. Though your dad and my mom may have shared the same birthday each year, my they now experience the glory of God.
Jenn,I was so sorry to hear of this and while it is sad it is a blessing that he and your momma are reunited.prayers and hugs for your family
