Dear Cook Family, please accept my condolences for the loss of Jack. He was a great guy and I'll always remember him. Growing up next door to him was a valuable experience, and as an adult I delivered his mail! I'll look back fondly on the baseball games he supervised and his strong opinions. Your old neighbor, Mick Wood.
