RICHARD V. COOKSON

I remember when I was in Bay State Medical Center recovering from a triple bypass and he was there with Cindy. I was touched by his taking the time to visit. After Rosemary's funeral I was invited for Thanksgiving for the next few years. These were enjoyable times. I mentioned his death at church today and asked for prayers of comfort for those grieving for him. I know the feeling of loss a spouse feels. let anyone who wants to tell what Richard said and did that made him a very unique person be encouraged to share. Let them share their memories. Talking about Rosemary helped me as I mourned her passing.

I loved his sense of humor, his kindness, always willing to help out if he could. My memory of him was from my brother’s Frankie’sbirthday dinner I see him looking at me with his head tilted laughing with his mouth open this memory was frozen in my memory from that dinner that night.
