Dr Cook actually helped me change my life by offering a way to express my spiritual understanding through his delivery of sermons stat were biblically based and thought provoking.
I was saddened by his departure but not alone in the thinking behind his sermons. With the local guidance of Bishop Lee Moore, I received the best Christian education a person could easily incorporate into righteous thinking.

I only learned of Dr. J.L. Cook passing this morning. I was stunned, he and I have enjoyed many conversations over the 5 years we have known each other. I was impressed and moved by his genuine concern for myself and others, he always demonstrated a keen desire to help me with what ever was asked of him. I considered him a real friend and Brother in Christ, and a tireless co-labor in the harvest field of the Lord. I will surely miss Dr. Johnny Lee Cook and look forward to seeing him again in heaven one day.

Thanks to a wonderful Christian man...for all the souls you reached for Jesus and for coming to Benson Grove to speak at my graduation from our Bible Institute...It meant so much to me and I will never forget it...I miss you Bro. Johnny but Heaven has a new choir member...You were awesome and so humble...love you always and you too sister Judy...from Kaye Allen

I have never known a man more kind and gentle than Dr. J. L. Cook. He loved everybody regardless of race, color or creed. If you were a human being, he loved you. I am so thankful our lives crossed. He was such an inspiration to me. Every time I went to the Graduation, he was so happy to see me. He always had time for me. He even came to Albany, GA at his expense to help me promote our School. We went on TV, and he spoke on behalf of the School. He made me feel so proud. I loved him then and will always love Dr. J. L. Cook. He was a Giant among giants. Sleep on. Take your rest. We love you, but God loved you best.

Judy,
As I sit here reading all the wonderful things people had to say about Brother Johnny I am smiling because going through my mind is his "Cook-ology". In some of mine and Tommy's darkest days the phone would ring and it would be Johnny and boy could he bring you out of that ditch fast! When I look back over the years we have known him - he was such a blessing to our family. You and the boys shared him with so many people and I thank you for sharing him with the Register family. He will be greatly missed but the memories will go on until we see him in heaven. God Bless you and give you the strength to carry on his vision! Tommy and Sondra

Prayers for the family, colleagues, students and alumnae of this leader, visionary and spirit-filled minister/ pastor. I completed my Doctorate in Biblical Studies in 2008 and was so inspired to attend another graduation with colleagues from the Atlanta area who now have the NCCT legacy to be proud of. Thank God for the work of Dr. Cook and may the school continue to thrive and grow.

Dearest Judy and Family,
My mom, sister and I went to the Cracker Barrel a few weeks ago and I almost got knocked down by Dr Cook (he forgot to look down). I said "Johnny, are you going to walk all over me and, like always, he got a BIG laugh and I got a BIG hug.
The Whittington family has known Judy and Johnny and the guys for more than 25 years. Some of my brothers have had revivals with him and I have sang for him many times. Our family is still in shock about his going but, thank God, he is in a better place,
Judy, I know what you will be going thru since I went thru the same thing in 1991 and I still miss Avery.
If you need to talk, just give me a call since both of these guys were wonderful husbands. I love you from my heart and I really love your sons. Give the family my love and I will be saying prayers for the entire family.
Lots of love
Marie Whittington (Rev A B Whittington)

Dear Mrs. Judy & Family;
I wanted to send my condolences on the passing of Bro. Johnny. I remember so many wonderful sermons at Haynesville Baptist Church when I visited there with my Grandma & Papa Plemmons. I will always remember the sweet sweet words & memories that Bro. Johnny preached at Papa's funeral in 1985 and we were so blessed & thankful that he made the trip as it meant so much to Grandma & our family. Grandma always said "I love that Johnny Cook" and he loves my chocolate cake !!! I know that he has found my sweet Grandma & Papa already in their Heavenly home and gave them a big hug. I will always remember his wonderful smile & the hugs I always received each time I saw him. He will be sadly missed but gosh what an awesome angel God has received. I pray for you, your sons & their families to be surrounded with friends, Family & most of all God's love & blessings in the time ahead. It will be a short time until we all get to travel to our wonderful Heavenly Home & spend Eternity with our loved ones. Love & Prayers to you all.

Dr.Cook made a profound impact on my life. He was indeed a wonderful man of GOD. I cherish many memories of him preaching, singing, and, teaching. He was also a generously, kind, exhorter. He loved making people laugh. His humor and wit, were gifts from GOD, that he shared with all of whomever, were in his presence. He literally wanted to give me the clothes off his back, for the homeless men in need. GOD is with you all; The Cook Family. I know that your loss is Heaven's gain. He is entertaining, The Master. You are in my prayers, as well as my thoughts.

I am so sad to know that I will not see Rev Johnny Cook at Altamahaw Baptist Church again. I learned so much the times he held revival for us. Before I surrendered to the call of Ministry, Preacher Cook was the first to even mention the call of God to my life. I feel so sad for all his family but we will see him again. Praise God for his Ministry here.

Dear Judy, Jonathan, Daniel, and Timothy:
Brother Johnny was (at the very least) a unique person. One never could forget him. For whatever reason, he was taken with my work with the Back-to-Bethel Campmeeting, and seemed determined that he and I would work together. I enjoyed my time at South Biscayne with him and Brother Mike Fautt. I am sorry that it was so short at time. He was taken far too early. But, the great promise is that we shall sing again, and will not have to separate! Take hope, family!
Mike Stevens

Hey Cook family. Words can not express how we are feeling right now. Trust me when I say we know exactly how you feel. It does get easier, just knowing he is with the savior.

Love and miss you all very much, and hope to get out there to see you all before to long.

Bishop John Cook what an inspiration he was to so many. He could sing,preach,teach. All about the word of God.And if that did'nt win you over he would throw in some Cookology. I loved him and will never forget all that he did and meant to me. My prayers and thoughts go out to his wonderful family. It is so comforting to know we will see him again as we share being with him in our Heavenly home.

Johnny Cook....what a great man of God. Who was so wise and full of wisdom. He always had a way of making room for his jokes before he ministered and sometimes in between. I loved to hear him sing as well as preach and tell his jokes. He has immensely touched my life over the years. From time to time we'd talk as I was recovering from a severe accident that should have taken my life but he would call always right on time with a word of encouragement and even yep..you got it..one of his jokes. Always made me feel better and stronger to get well. I can see you now Johnny...you're having the time of your life and you finished the race and you ran it well. Until We Meet Again My Friend...I love you!

You have blessed our lives, and for that i'm thankful." Fold your wings Dr. Cook and put your soul to rest"

Words always seem so shallow, but in my brief working relationship with Bro. Johnny, I grew to admire him a great deal. He had a burning desire to do everything within his power to insure that our Lord was represented in every area possible. Although absent from his body and our presence, he is now with our Lord…and filling the Heavens with more happiness!
His master replied, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master's happiness!' (Matthew 25:21)
Many prayers are with Johnny's family and friends. I am blessed by having met and work with him.

I will always be so thankful that Dr. Cook came to Altamahaw Baptist Church and preached our revivals for several years. His way of making you laugh along with his awesome preaching had a way of reaching people that others did not. Laughter is a wonderful gift to give someone, and he certainly could do that. My heart is heavy knowing I will not see him again down here, but I look forward to seeing him in heaven one day. My love and sympathy to Judy and the entire family. HE WILL SURELY BE MISSED, BUT THIS WORLD IS A BETTER PLACE BECAUSE HE PASSED OUR WAY.

I feel great sorrow for all of you...I love you dearly. I rejoice for my friend, who is now in the presence of Christ. I love your husband and father more than you will ever know and am so thankful that God used him so greatly in my life. Preaching to "me" on Feb. 13, 1983(day I trusted Christ), encouraging me to pursue God by going to Bible College and surrendering to God's call, following God's call to have me as his youth pastor in 1989, mentoring me, giving me so much wisdom and advice, and loving me (I really felt like a fourth son to him). Wish I could be there to honor Bro. Johnny. Please know that I will be praying for you and if I can do anything for you, please do not hesitate to call on me.
