Thomas H. "Tom" Cook

Dear Dode: I just ran across Tom's obituary and wanted you to know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. I remember Tom dropping you off and picking you up frequently when we worked together at the Southdale License Center MANY years ago. You two were a stitch together! Your chemistry was obvious and you got such a kick out of one another even after having been married for so many years. I wish you joy, peace, and healing as you remember your life with Tom.

Dorothy and family, Our heartfelt sympathy to you on the loss of Tom, your beloved husband, father and grandfather. What a special man! Always a smile, always looking out to make the world a better place. He will be missed.
Kern and Debbie Wessman

I remember Tom fondly growing up. I was sorry to hear of his passing. I have many happy memories of spending holidays with the Cook family. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you.

Tom and Dode never shied away from helping and supporting those of the Cook Family who were in need. Tom will be forever loved and respected for his selfless service to our nation, his many friends, and the entire Cook family.
