Jack Cook Sr.

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family Stephanie. May God give you peace in your heart.
God Bless, Carole Henley

Stephanie, sorry to here about the loss of your father. May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow. Co-worker at USDA-NFC.

Take comfort in knowing that now you have a special guardian angel to watch over you.

Jack will be missed at church, when I look from the choir it won't be the same. There will be a vacancy where he always sat. My prayers are with Virgie and family.

You will be sadly missed. We love you Dad.

The Final Salute

“Brothers in Arms”, Military men and women down through the centuries, have traditionally exchanged “Hand Salutes” as a sign of recognition and as a way to render courtesy and respect one to another.

This “Hand Salute” is the last that we shall render to Jack Bynum Cook, Sr. our “Brother-in-Arms”. To his family it symbolizes the love and respect that we have for Jack. And to Jack it is rendered as a symbol of honor and gratitude to thank him for the devoted and selfless service he rendered to his country during the Korean War while serving in the U.S. Air Force. Jack, you are a true patriot, who served with honor and distinction. You upheld the finest qualities of an American patriot warrior: courage, commitment, generosity, sacrifice, love and devotion to family and country. We bid you a sad farewell. You will be dearly missed from among our ranks. Be at Ease. Rest in Peace.

On behalf of the 1,261 military veteran Legionnaires of Lowe-McFarlane Post 14 of the American Legion, I extend our sympathies and our condolences to Jack's family and loved ones.
