Oh my where do I start. Dr Cook and you Camille, had a great part in forming my life, values and how do treat people with kindness. Working for him and you, Camille,was like my second family. We sure did have some good times and we never knew what pranks were going to be played by AB, Ed Randle, Floppy etc. Remember the big key on the back of the Corvette. I could go on but it is time for me to tell you I am a better person today because of the friendship and guideness he gave me. MIckey...

Deepest sympathy.

Our condolences - a fine gentleman in every aspect. We have good memories of lunches together with the Elder group of golfers and a great photographer as lagniappe.

Dear Aunt Camille and family,
Please accept my heartfelt condolances. A loss of this magnitude is never easy but the legacy can be quite comforting. I'll share with you an interesting story. A few years ago I was selling a house in uptown N.O. to a gentleman and his wife. They were quite gaurded and defensive at the begining of the transaction. Over the coarse of a couple of weeks, "yes, I want the...No, I don't want the house...yes I do...etc..." Finally I asked them to meet me for coffee...

"Larger Than Life" is the term that comes to mind when I think of Dr. Cook. He was truly a legend in his own time - they don't make 'em like that any more! I know that you will miss him, but what wonderful memories he leaves! My deepest sympathy to Camille, Barbara, Tommy, Leslie, Beau, and all the family

Dear Barbara,
My heart is breaking for you. I have so many lovely memories of your Dad and his big dogs, particularly Beau. It seems just like yesterday that he pulled me out of the pool at your mom and dad's house. Your Dad was a prince of a man.

With love to the Cook Family,

I remember my visits to Dr. Cook's office fondly. His playful manner made a scary situation into a bonding moment. I also remember being told many stories of adventures shared by my dad and Dr. Cook. Slidell is a better place because of his impact, but it will never be the same because of his loss.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the Cook family today. My grandparents were some of Dr Cook's first patients when came to Slidell and he remained our family physician until his retirement. I can vividly remember the office visits I had as a child with Dr Cook and his team; Nurse Miller, Bruce and Ann Jeannette. He was always patient and kind as he calmed me down before and after those shots! He will be fondly remembered and greatly missed.
