Read MoreMajor Jim Cook was an inspiration to me, as he was to many. A mentor, a friend, a critic, Jim was the man responsible for encouraging me to maintain my convictions and integrity, and to live up to my potential with HCSO and since retirement. I will miss, Jim. He made a difference in the lives of all those who truly knew him. My greatest sympathy goes out to Ann. You, and we, were truly blessed.

I worked with Major Cook off and on from 1981 until his retirement in 1990, and he was a pleasure to work with. I had always known that he was a devoted family man but I didn't realize how much so until I attended his service today. The Cook family is so blessed to have had such a wonderful human being as Jim Cook in their lives. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Sincere sympathy on the loss of Mr. Cook. We have had the great pleasure of knowing one of his daughters, Carol( and her husband, George), and seeing the kind of person she is, raised in this family..is a wonderful testament to the parenting and family values. In addition to all his accomplishments...a family like this is a wonderful legacy. May all your proud and happy memories bring blessings to your lives, and may all your family and friends surround you with the love to help you.
