C. L. You are surely leaving a void for all your loved ones and friends. You were such a unique individual, a man among men, a great storyteller, a man who really lived his life. I always described you to others as "The Real McCoy" - the real life rodeo cowboy along with many other attributes. You will be sorely missed by all, "Mr. Cook". To Casey: Remember your Dad's words to me - "Casey is a fine young man." He was so very proud of you. My sympathy to all the Cook family.
