I am sorry about the loss of Mr. Cook. I was so glad to see him in Cook's Hot Dogs one Saturday in January - he was always such a pleasant man. My sympathy to all of the family.

To the Cook Family,
My Sympathies are with you for the loss of "Uncle" Turner, but you are blessed he's with God. I haven't seen any of ya'll in over 40 years, but I remember going to "Uncle" Wavy's store. Mother and Daddy are with God, too. I remember they always made us call everyone Aunt and Uncle. I don't remember much about Grady, but my husband remembers all of you. I do remember playing with ya'll, and I remember your family singing. My sister, Pat sent me the obituary. My husband was reading it out loud, when he came to Roy's name, I told him we used to call him Sunshine and he always wore a baseball cap. I see he still has that nickname. It is so nice to know that your whole famiy is still in God's family. May God bless you
and your memories lift you up in this
time of sorrow.
From Martha and Delma Brooks
and family

Another saint gone to be with God.. What a blessing for Uncle Turner and what a loss for us left here. If you knew Uncle Turner, then you had to know Jesus to. Because if you didn't it wouldn't take him long to introduce you if given the chance. He did love to hear the group sing and they loved to sing for him. I always remember how excited he would get when he and aunt Sis would be singing and testified how wonderful it was going to be one day to see Jesus to face. I know without a doubt he enter in the gates shoutin' & praisin'......
We love you Aunt Sis

It seems like a dream, that we have lost a very special person in our lives. But oh man, what it must be like in Heaven! Uncle Turner was a true man of God without a doubt. I idealize his life commitments. The smallest things he considered a blessing. He never took anything for granted, always grateful. He and Aunt Sis was our inspiration and support throughout our singing ministry. If you ever got a chance to experience his distinct hooping and hollering during a service, you knew Uncle Turner was there , serving God and receiving his blessing (esp. when Dan sang Dead Man Walking) He taught me alot through his teachings and preachings, to live life the fullest through God's eyes as if there were no tomorrow, always be ready, strive daily. You will truly be missed. Special thanks to those who wrote, called , prayed or brought food. Our family has truly been blessed by people like you and Uncle Turner is smiling up in heaven in aha of you all.

Sunshine, my thoughts and prayers are with you and the family. Having lost my Mom not too very long ago, I know how hard it is to always remain grateful that we have shared life with our loved ones for as long as we were allowed. I know God's healing arms will surround you all with His love. Blessings from a fellow Baker Lion, '65

Roy, it has been awhile since I have seen your father, but he was a really great guy. I loved when he had the hot dog cart out in front of CB&T downtown and when you used to deliver hot fresh cookies to the businesses. I missed that when it stopped. I am so sorry for your loss.

May the family be Blessed and strengthen for Mr. Cook is resting in the arms of Christ our Lord and redeemer. I enjoyed Mr. Cook and eating hot dogs on Broadway, especially during the 80's when I had to ride the bus and waiting for transfers to the mall and to work. He was always so nice and pleasure to greet.
He has runned his race and finished is course. There's a blessing on the other side of through. And he has made it to the other side of through.
Look unto the hills from which comes your help, your help comes from the Lord.

Roy,
Please accept the deepest sympathies of the Stanford family on the passing of your Father. My brother Danny, my Mother and I certainly enjoyed visiting with you last December at Cook's Hot Dogs. I wish you could set up a shop over here at Camp Phoenix, Afghanistan. Your Father left a fine legacy.

Mrs. Cook,
We were so sorry to read of Mr. Cook's passing. Mrs. Cook you know that we loved you both. You all were some of the very first friends we made when we moved to Columbus in 1970. You supported us faithfully in our singing ministry. You will always have a special place in our hearts. We are praying for you during these most difficult days ahead. Sure you will have a very hard time adjusting, but with your strong faith, the support of your family, and the prayers of others, you will make it. We love you and we're praying for you.

My heartfelt sympathies to the Cook family. My memories of Mr. Cook were over 14 years ago when I was pregnant and craving a footlong. I would eat one of his dogs atleast once a week. He was always such a kind man. An angel has taken flight. His earthly suffering has ceased. May he have eternal peace.

There aren't very many men the calibre of Mr. Cook. Always a smile, never a cross word, always a word of encouragement. Can't you close your eyes and hear the majestic voices of ten thousand times ten thousand angels sing praises to God that another of His finest has come home!
