    To the entire Cook Family;

    I worked with Len for quite a few years back in the late seventies until his retirement. He was a legend on several fronts! He was always ready for a good time and he wasn’t slow to laugh at you when you messed up. He had a good heart and tried his best to look after people.
    He will be missed.
    Rest in peace Cookie!!!!
