Sorry to hear that his physical body has left this world, but is present with the Lord.

I remember Tim when I lived in Battle Creek worked at Community Hospital many years ago and would escort my patients to CT.

To the family of Tim Cook. It is with a saddened heart that I heard of Tim's passing. Having worked with him for many years, I know he loved life, his family and served the Lord with fervent beliefs. I always appreciated his candor and his wit, which made the daily toils better. Prayers for the family, Linda, Erin, the in-laws and grandchildren. He will be missed.

Ruthann and I are deeply saddened.
