Dear Mrs. Cook, Susan, David and Kevin

I admired Mr. Cook from the first time I met him at Kevins shop in Mystic. His knowledge in all things related to mechanical operations were second to none. I spoke about him to my dad (Hub) on a few different occasions and my dad's thoughts were as mine. Much respect !

I am sorry to hear of the passing of Mr. Cook... I remember him from when I was a young child living next door. He fabricated and welded a go-kart for my Dad who gave it to my brothers and I... we had a lot of fun with that driving it around our yard. He and my Dad would talk as he was also a project guy... I know my Dad enjoyed their conversations. Mr. Cook was a hard working and honest man and they don´t make them like that anymore. May he rest in peace.
