I was saddened to hear about your passing, Mr Cook you will always hold a special place in my heart because I know that you had to take some flack off of neighbors who didn’t understand why you allowed a little boy of color to hangout with your daughters over your house especially during those times over 40yrs ago in 1979 -81 I spent more time over y’all house than my own, Rest Well 🙏🏾, Love and Respect !!!
