Not sure what to say?

Our condolences. We have many fond memories of Bob hunting at the goose hunting farm. One of his famous sayings was, "the sun was in my eyes," when the geese didn't fall easily from the sky. The funny part was that it could have been cloudy that day. Everyone adopted Bob's saying at one time or another. We always enjoyed his company, extensive knowledge and quick work of the cross-word puzzle. He was a great mentor to both Eric and Kelly in their conservation education.
We are so very...

Hi Bob. Kitty & Family

I'll always remember Dr. Cook as a great teacher. He taught my 9th grade biology class at Preble high. I again met up with Dr. Cook at UWGB, where I worked on a project with him during the summer of 1967. I went on to get a degree in Wildlife Ecology at UW-Madison, largely due to Dr. Cook 's example. The wildlife community has lost a true champion, but those he influenced will continue his advocacy.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

Bob knew my father and together they worked on talking me into attending UWGB back in 1973. It turned out to be one of the best experiences of my life and also where I met my future husband. He was a great guy and really stoked my love of nature.
Thanks, Bob, and godspeed.

I had the pleasure of serving with Bob on the Board of Directors Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation during its early years. His contribution to our meetings/discussions helped shape RMEF policy and enlightened all that served with him.
My condolences to the family and friends of Bob.

I was fortunate to meet and get to know Bob when I was elected to the RMEF Board of Directors. He brought a lot of knowledge and passion to the Board. May you rest in peace Bob.

Semper Fi Marine. May you rest in peace.
