Daddy everyday seems harder than the one before. I miss you so much. I wish I could have 1 more hunting trip, 1 more race,1 more Bbq,1 more I love you...Just 1 more anything!
Life will go on, but there will always be a emptiness that we will try to fill with the wonderful memories and the love we have shared. You taught us to be strong, independent and caring. We will gather around our family for comfort and share the memories that were made and never be forgotten. Until we are together again. I Love You Daddy.
I miss you more than you will ever know!
Angry Dad, Father in Law and Friend
I met JD when I was a teenager through his daughter Lynn. There were a couple of things about her that caught my attention and when I met her family and saw how attractive her Mother and Grandmother were I thought if Lynn was to look this good as she grew older I may just have a keeper. However JD thought otherwise. We had a bit of a rough period (typical Dad protecting his little girl) but, when he realized he could not run me off and looking out for Lynn's best interest he got me a decent job, drove me to work every day and began to teach me a trade. Even on the day we were married and I was having second thoughts he said "don't let the door hit you in the @$$ on your way out". Soon after our marriage I grew to love JD and his whole family as much if not more than my own. He did everything he could to help us get off to a good start. From financial help to lying beside me in the dirt to fix a car. For many years we worked and played together and many wonderful memories that I will cherish for the rest of my life. He was a man's man who would sometimes administer tough love, but also would not hesitate to say he loved you and you knew he meant it. There is no doubt that my family is better off and that I am a much better man as a direct result of his influence! Thank you JD and rest knowing that at least as long as I am alive your stories will live on and you will not be forgotten!
My deepest condolences to the entire Cook family. My family and I had the honor of being their next-door neighbors for 18 years. We have so many wonderful memories from that time and will always keep them in our hearts. Our love to you all.
I GO BACK A LONG WAY WITH THE COOK FAMILY....WE WERE FROM THE SAME SMALL TOWN OF BRYAN, OHIO...AND THEN WHEN THE MOVED TO FLORIDA THEY WERE MY NEIGHBORS, I GREW UP WITH THE COOK KIDS....JOHN COOK WAS A WONDERFUL MAN, AS HE KNEW MY FATHER A MAN I HARDLY KNEW AND HE WAS ABLE TO TELL ME STORIES OF HIM...MY HEART GOES OUT TO THE FAMILY, SUFFERING THIS TERRIBLE LOSS..MUCH LOVE, SONJA
He is the greatest daddy any girl could ever ask for! he sacrificed so much for his family over the years. the pain of losing him is almost unbearable. I have so many life lessons and memories from him. I was always daddy's spoiled rotten little girl. I love that man more than he will ever know!
JD and I worked together for 20 years at Combustion Tec., we shared many experiences and had many years of friendship, he was always willing to help me when I ask of his time. I feel blessed and privileged to have known JD as he has touched many lives. I will always be grateful for having known him. My best to the family as I feel their loss but know they will find comfort in the pleasant memories of JD that will carry us on. Maurice White
