RICHARD LYTLE ROOK

Mr. Rook and his wife always sat in the pew right behind us at St. Pauls. They were so kind to our two daughters, making a point to ask them about school and telling them about their sweet dog. We missed seeing his wife when she passed and will also very much miss him at church.

I met Mr. Rook back when his wife passed. Over the years I had helped him with different concerns and requests at the cemetery. He would come so often to visit his beloved wife, you could tell he was lost. Often I would see his car parked back near the grave and I would stop and talk to him, he shared stories about his career and how his wife was such a huge part. I would just listen. The last time I talked to him was back in March at the grave site. If he had an issue with the cemetery...

Mr. Rook was a dear friend and a remarkable person; I'm so blessed to have known him. For the last four years, I visited regularly with Mr. Rook, bringing with me the dachshund that he and his beloved late wife Jean shared; during our visits, he learned new computer skills and built his family genealogy using online sources-always looking to learn something new! He was a dedicated educator, and as I recently learned, a home builder, building the home he & his family shared for over sixty...

I had the pleasure of meeting and becoming friends with Dick at Mercy Fitness Center the latter part of 2019. He was a gentleman who enjoyed socializing with his many friends at the Center. He always spoke lovingly of his wife and his two sons and his grandchildren. Rest In Peace, Dick.

Tim, Mark and family we are so sorry to hear of the passing of your dad. He will be missed in the neighborhood.

We are so sorry Mark and Tim and families. . Uncle Dick was a great guy. He was funny, always having a big hug and smile for us every time hed see us. How we wish we could hug you now. . He will be missed. . He now joins Aunt Jean. Rest In Peace Uncle Dick. ♥

Oh Mr. Rook. I knew you had been taken to the hospital but I had no idea why and I had no way of getting ahold of anyone.
You were my wonderful neighbor and you will be truly missed. I will miss you stopping by to talk to me.
