Robert Hopkins Cook, of Boone NC, just shy of his 91st birthday passed away November 22nd, 2024 of natural causes.

He is survived by his wife Ruth of 66 years, children Rebecca and Jake, along with too many friends and family to list who will miss him dearly.

Bob Cook spent 21 honorable years in the US navy and afterwards he passionately continued his service by volunteering numerous hours, months and years as someone who supports veterans in need.

In Memoriam:

"Sunset and evening star, and one clear call for me! And may there be no moaning of the bar, when I put out to sea, but such a tide as moving seems asleep, too full for sound and foam, when that which drew from out the boundless deep turns again home. Twilight and evening bell, and after that the dark!. And may there be no sadness of farewell, when I embark: for tho from out our bourne of Time and Place the flood may bear me far, I hope to see my Pilot face to face when I have crossed the bar."  - Tennyson

We will miss you dearly Bob; Strong winds and following seas!!
