To all of the cook family , I just Recently learned of John's passing. He was my best friend in high school. We stayed connected to all these years. I began trucking up in the Canadian Rockies into Alaska. God, after the last time I spoke with him in 2011.. I've been trying to get ahold of him for quite some time. And I started looking him up again. Th first thing that popped up was is obituary. And I'm so sad about that. He was my frben, Julie Joe. Robert jerry I remember everyone of you.. And I'm so sad that I will never get to lay my eyes on him again as I know, you guys are too. I am saddened by this but I will sort it out. Because I know that he must be. In God's Kingdom.

Taylor, I've always considered your father my dear beloved friend. I think back on all the memories he and I made, the times He made me laugh and the times he made me cry, I'll hold each memory dear. I remember when I used to come pick you up so we both could go and hijack your father after work. that was so much fun. I knew it has to be very painful for you as I know it is for me. I am very sorry for your loss and I will be keeping you in my thoughts and prayers. I miss him already as I know you do too. he will always be close to my heart & in my thoughts and you will be too.
