Grant Cook

Uncle Grant as I knew him was my godfather and dear friend of my parents Dr Jim and Marjorie Doster. He handled my adoption in 1967 in Houston. He petitioned the judge many times to unseal my records to no avail. I found my biological family and wanted to let him know he was right. He said my birth mother was tall, beautiful and seemed resolute and loved me enough to give me a better life. I'm sure he knows now. My condolences to the family.

I was a paralegal at Reynolds, Allen, and Cook in the late 70s and early 80s. Grant was a mentor and a friend to me.

I am sure I'm not the only one of his employees who thought of him as a friend. That was how he treated us. I am so sorry to hear about his death. My condolences to his family.

Grant was a dear friend and a great partner. May his memory be for a blessing.

I held Grant in high regard, not only for his profound legal skill, but also for his kindness. In every regard, Grant was just a great guy.

Oh, what a great guy and even greater lawyer Grant Cook was! I know Kyle was waiting with open arms and heart and they are now with Joe Reynolds and so many others who have gone before. Grant will be missed by so, so many.

He was special and will be missed!!

Wonderful trial lawyer with a big generous heart

I remained with the Reynolds & Cook firm for the first 17 years of my career as a lawyer and I still regard those years as the highlight of my professional life. Grant, in particular, taught me and many others to try lawsuits both to judges and juries around the State of Texas and in other parts of the country and to...
