Dear family of Dr. Cooke,

Dear Sharon, Kim, Susan and Anne:
It is only a coincidence that I just saw this and am so sorry to have not been able to say good-bye to him. Uncle Bob was an inspiration to so many of us - especially to Dad, which he confided to us often in his later years. We send much love to you all.
Rufus & Pauline

Dear Sharry, Our thoughts and prayers are with you and all the family. May Bob's many good works live on in his own children and those young people who were touched by his life's work.
God Bless You,
Cousin Lib and Ed Spinella
