Not sure what to say?

I came to know and love Mr. Cook through the NWLA Veterans home where he lived and where he was my dad's table mate in the cafeteria. I live in Colorado, so I visit my dad a few days every three months. When my dad would nap, I would sneak off to go visit with Mr. Cook and delight in his stories. I was instantly drawn to him when my dad joined the home three years ago and I never missed the chance to go catch up with him. We were both Air Force veterans, he and I, so we had lots to talk...

To Mr. Ken's family, please accept our deepest condolences. Such an amazing tribute to gis life. He was a good man who's love & devotion to his Lord,family & friends was unwavering. Him & my dad, John "Andy" Anderson, were the best of friends for many years.. May he rest in peace. Yall are in our prayers.

I went to church with Kenneth and Mrs. Reba about 20 years ago when they lived in Marshall, TX. Both were the absolute sweetest and most generous people I could have known. I feel honored to have known them both, and while I'm sad to hear of Kenneth's passing, I know he is reunited with Mrs. Reba and they are both basking in our Lord's glory and love.

I wish that I could have met him

Uncle Kenny, I love you and Aunt Reba and I'm so happy that you guys are reunited finally and the presence of our God. Words cannot express how much you will be missed and how much we love you. I have so many fond memories as a child when you'd visit us in Texas and many other times as well. I know we'll see each other again and I love you very much.

I will always have fond memories of that Cook family trout fishing trip in mammoth springs Arkansas were you help my youngest pull in that three pound trout will always love you and miss you and talking to you on the phone at my Mom and Dad's god bless you, Uncle Kenny I know Aunt Reba is waiting for you in heaven with open arms.

We love Uncle Kenny. We’ve laughed more in life because of him, and talked, and held folks in prayer. I’m am forever grateful for his encouragement with the VA. He is in our hearts forever and we hold our family and his fellow vets in prayer.

Paps i miss our daily chats already. Know you are with Reba. My heart hurts. Know you are home. Love Linda
