Roger Andrew Cook, a man of kindness and love, passed away peacefully on March 12, 2025, in Hopewell, NJ, at the age of 61. Born on March 22, 1963 in Trenton, NJ, Roger was a beacon of light to all who knew him, leaving behind a legacy of warmth and generosity.
Roger was predeceased by his father, Robert W. Cook, Jr., sister, Tricia Elizabeth Cook Parziale, brother, Robert P. Cook and wife Donna Z. Cook, and mother and father-in-law, Albert and Marion Ritzo. He is survived by his devoted wife, Marguerite Ritzo Cook, loving daughter, Shawna Bugglin of Ewing, NJ, mother, Patricia Charnick Cook, brother, Scott D. Cook and wife Margaret Brady Cook of Forked River, NJ, niece, Melanie E. Cook of Forked River, NJ, sister-in-law, Lisa Ritzo of Myrtle Beach, SC, sister-in-law, Maureen Boyle of Myrtle Beach, SC, brother-in-law, Albert Ritzo of Virginia, Aunt and Godmother, Fay Hann of Newtown, PA, Aunt Arlene Prettyman of Florida, his beloved fur baby, Joey, and many cousins who will cherish their memories with him.
Roger's passion for working on automobiles and his skill in pitching quoits were well-known and admired. His hands were rarely still, as he found joy and purpose in the intricacies of mechanics and the friendly competition of games. His kind and loving nature was the cornerstone of his existence, touching the lives of those around him.
Roger will be deeply missed, but his spirit will continue to inspire all who had the pleasure of knowing him.
