Remembering Town Bank and the car with the white nose.How many guys would trust us with their car. It always amazes me. Julia

Bernie and I fondly remember the many events we shared in Venice. Ralph will be missed.

Pop, I have been trying to remember the very first time I met you, but I can't find that very first memory in my brain. I guess it is the same thing that happens in any family; when someone is a part of your life for so many years, like a Father, Grandfather, Uncle, or in my case, an "adopted father", you really can't pinpoint a first memory simply because they all get jumbled up together in your head and your heart. I have so many wonderful memories of you to keep, and they will stay in my heart forever. Thank you for taking me in as your "adopted daughter" and for loving me so much. I am so very lucky to have had the opportunity to have you in my life, and I am truly blessed to have had the opportunity to love you back. I miss you Pop, and will miss you for a very long time. I love you. Love, ~ Schmelvin <3

Betty and family, My prayers are with you all at this sad time in your lives. Ralph was a wonderful person, and I feel very fournate to have known him, you were so much fun to be around, we will all miss him dearly,but we have many fond memories. Love Gert

Pop, We'll always remember your great smile and easy conversation on the porch. Thanks for being Keri's "Special Pop". We're so thankful for the time we had knowing you. We'll miss you dearly.

Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

Dear Betty and family, I was very saddened on hearing of Mr.Cook's passing.I remember all the fun times you guys had with my parents, and how mom often spoke of you both. My prayers are with you.

Sorry to here of Ralphs death. We sure had a good time partying and golfing together. Rest in peace Ralph.

Hey pop.... It's been one month and seven days. Nothing really seems, "right". Something seems missing... I check back once and a while only to see more and more comments from others. Some who I don't even know personally. Those comments show me that you were in one way or another a part of their lives, just as you were in mine. Three days pop. Three days till I'm 13. I guess I could say you really never saw me grow up but in your eyes, neither me or any other of your grandkids really grew up, always being your little princess or peanut. I'm not sire of how many people are going to see this, because your at the bottom of the list and the commets are going to be gone forever, but I check here and there, and I'm just putting my final one. And pop, just make sure you watch out for us, everyone really, and keep us safe. I love you, hope your makin it up there alright. Xoxo Dina

Hey Daddy...its been almost a month that you left us,,,MISS YOU LOTS........always in my heart and thoughts each day. It is weird coming to the house and your not here. Mom doing good - keeping her busy and comfy.She even has a new baby - "Coal" cutest lil pup ever helps with the healing and missing you .....We all miss you and Luv you..........

To Betty and family. So sorry for your loss. Ralph will be missed. We miss both of you in Florida.

Dear Mrs. Cook, Karen and the rest of the family, I was deeply saddened to learn of Mr. Cook's passing. Karen and I have known each other 26 years or so...I have great memories of being over the house. From what I saw, he was a great dad, always laughing, making jokes and loving his children...He seemed to be a great husband and great grandfather too. I am sorry to be living so far away, but I share in your grief. I pray that the wonderful memories you all have will sustain you through this time. I find comfort in the words, "Absent from the body, present with the Lord"...he is Home and at peace. My God bless you all. With love, LindaLee

Betty, so sorry about the loss of Ralph. We have many memories of him. We will keep in our thoughts and prayers. Jo-ann and Mark Wieleba

Dearest Cook Family, Sometimes there's no rhyme or reason for things that happen. Best I can figure - my Dad and Walt needed a fourth for their next Tee-time and being the fun loving guy Mr. Cook was - he couldn't say no. May your fond memories help you through this sad time. All my love,

We are so sorry to hear about Pop. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Dear Betty and family: We are both so sorry for your loss, but Ralph put up a good fight for two years and we give you credit for that. Betty, I'm sure that your support was very important to him. Keep your chin up kiddo and we will keep you in our prayers.

Betty and Family- Sorry to learn about loss of Ralph. He was good friend as a co-worker, and fine company for golf and the 19th hole. Glad he was able to enjoy Florida awhile.

Betty words cannot express the sadness in our hearts. Ralph is Frans greatest BUDDY, and will always be. We are fortunate to have met two of the most wonderful, Loving, caring people. We can always look back and remember all the great times we spent together. Every time Fran touches his ear, and his eyes fill up with tears he will be saying hi Ralph we will meet again Friend. Love you Betty. We will always be here for you. Fran & Nancy

Ralph always made us smile. We didn't see him often, especially after they moved to Florida, but from the time he and Betty met and married, we have a memory of a good-natured guy who enjoyed people. Our sincere condolences to Betty and family at this sad time. Paul & Dianne

Our deepest condolences to you and your family.

We are blessed to have known Mr Cook Sr, even if only for a short while. We will continue to keep the entire Cook family in our prayers during your time of bereavement. Sorrowfully-your neighbors, Michael, Denisha, and Aaron Smith

Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

What wonderful memories we have to get us through these trying times. Ralph was a lot of fun and Chuck and I enjoyed our times with the two of you. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Love

Although Ralph had been through much, the last picture we saw of him showed the same smile. We will miss him. Hank and Jan

We Are So Sorry for Your Loss, You Have Our Deepest Sympathy.

Hey pop, It's your little peanut. I'm doing just fine, but I love and miss you so so much. You are still an extraordinary husband, dad, grandpop, and greatgrandpop. For two long life changing years you battled that pain in the butt thing you called cancer. It was said to be a word not a sentance and it's true in your case. You were strong and brave and went through weeks of treatments, losing your most pride & joy..... Your big bush.<3 at least look at it this way, you get your hair back! At this point, there are no words, at all, to express the feeling of losing you. Just remember we are all okay, and we all know your watching out for us. One thing I will always remember, is your favorite thing to say to me....if you Keep your mouth shut, you'll keep yourself out of trouble. Thanks to you, I'm trying my hardest. Wish me luck on my sour kangaroo. I know you'll be watching<3 rest easy pop. Love you Xoxo Dina <3
