Michael Boyce Cooke

Mike was always friendly and a gentleman...and of course handsome and a terrific athlete. We used to laugh about those of us in MAHS band probably sweated almost as much as the athletes since for too long a time we only had those itchy wool and whatever band uniforms to wear all season events. His Daddy and mine pushed for Belks to order white tee shirts and blue shorts for warm weather parades and so forth. Mike's take was his Daddy liked sweat as it meant effort but when two band members...

Mike was a good friend living across from each other while growing up in the big city of Mount Airy, NC. We spent a lot of time on the basketball court and loved every minute. We kept in touch with each other over the past 66 years. David, you're brother will not be forgotten.
