    I'm sorry for your loss,  Louie was a wonderful man, always funny and nice, I remember him at the baseball games when my brothers and George played.  Then later years at Softball games when Jamie played with my nieces. And of course all the years at Mingo Sportsman. God Bless you all

    Jamie and Mom Cook,  Sad to hear about the passing of Dad Cook.  I remember him standing in the back of the classroom on conference nights smiling at the good reports he heard about his daughter.  God Bless
