A Note for the family of Bill Cook
Dear Barbie, Jenny, Zach, John, Debbie, and Judy,
I grew up with Bill on Village View Rd in Tallmadge, OH. I was always in awe of his prowess in fixing cars and motorcycles. He was the "Fonzie" of our neighborhood.
Several years ago I was blessed with the opportunity to go on a fishing trip with Bill, John, and our respective sons in WV. It was a great time! I particularly recall one chilly evening when we gathered around the campfire by our cabin. We were frying up our catch of trout for the day and Bill and I were sharing tall tales and making up songs. You may not have known, but Bill is an excellent story teller and poet/songwriter. Now you do.
I will always remember that special time and our fellowship around the campfire. It is one of my favorite memories and I treasure the joy we experienced on that fishing adventure.
Our hope and help is in the Lord. I know Bill believes that. The Apostle''s Creed speaks of the "resurrection of the body" and "the communion of saints". I know Bill believes this.
I trust that one day we and Bill will again break bread together and have our fill of the fish in God''s Kingdom. Certainly new adventures await us in God''s new creation. I would not be surprised if we fish together again in His new creation. "Brother John" and I will catch the fish while "Uncle Bill" sits back and relaxes with a good book or catches a nap. God surely has wondrous things in store for his children.
Grace and peace be yours n the fullest measure.
In Christ,
Brother Larry Thursday, December 15, 2011 |

We are so sorry for your loss. Bill will be missed by all who had the pleasure to know him. We always enjoyed his visits at the Alamo complex in Beaumont, as he left us with a smile and a laugh. May he rest in peace. Lawrence & Karen Lucia and Ryan O'Brien Thursday, December 15, 2011 |

Barbie, Jenn, Zach, and family, we're so sorry about your loss. I know he meant the world to you. I have known Bill for 30 years, but in the last 5 years I had become to know him personally and we became best friends. Although I thought I knew how to have fun and take it easy on a daily basis, he gave me new insight on how to really do it. I'm really going to miss his multiple daily visits to the shop. We would just take off and go the Sonic or lunch or breakfast. During the summer we would leave work and head to the river for some water sports. Although I'm going to miss this, I won't forget it. I'll continue his well entrenched easy going attitude. We love you guys very much. Thursday, December 15, 2011 |
