William F. Cook, Jr.

Miss You already, so much Billy. I love this picture of you and Jodie. I know you'd want us to quote Monty Python or something from National Lampoon (as you threatened to do at my wedding), but I'm not quite ready yet. I hope you're having a Captain's Daughter and finding some great conversation. And yes Bill, I'm talking about the beer. ;-) . Love you

So very sorry to hear of Bill's passing.
There were many fun times together over the years.

My deepest sympathies to everyone, especially his family and close friends. My heart is still aching from the shock of his passing. I will always remember his unique sense of humor and the way he lended perspective on life. All the fond memories from Radio Shack, the Elks, sailing, newspapers, singing & playing guitar, and all the restaurants & bars will be cherished in my heart and mind. From the stories to the one-liners it has been an absolute pleasure to be a part of his life. His...

Bill was one of a kind who touched the lives of many people. He will live on within those affected by his kindness and humor and friendship. Thoughts are with friends and family who loved him. He was a good friend.

Kathy and Trisha - Although he’ll be close in your hearts, I know that won’t be enough to fill the void every minute you miss him. I hope the grief you feel turns more to happy memories as time goes on. I keep closing my eyes to see Billy’s sweet smile - a very special guy and someone I considered family growing up — my “other” big brother. Love you both.

My condolences to Jodie, who I have not seen in many, many years, but remember fondly. I said a prayer for your...

Jodie,Kathy and Pat I am so sorry for your loss. Bill has been a close friend since high school. We shared a love for music and formed a band. Some of the best times of my life. He always had a comedic view on politics, life, music and cars. He was a big part of my life and always will be.

We'll miss you Billy. Your smile, your stories, your humor. Hope you raced to heaven in your RX-7! Love to you Kath, Trish, Jodie, Chris and Kevin.

jodie, Trish and Kathy,
Wayne and I are so saddened by the loss of our great friend Bill. He was the best friend anyone could ever have. We enjoyed his company twice a week, his unbelievable sense of humor and awesome guitar playing. He loved to tell us stories of his "useless information" and would love to tease from a political standpoint. Wayne and Bill would venture out for lunch at "Our Place", unless I prepared a home cooked meal. Both my children were lucky to have great...

So sorry to hear about Bill's passing. I played in a Beatles tribute band with Bill back when we were a lot younger...lots of good times and some good tunes too. Bill and his wonderful sense of humor and musical talents will be forever remembered and forever missed.
