Was my dear friend. We met at a
trucking company in Mich. some 10years ago plus. Funny story I was at the yard and this rough looking guy came up to
me and wanted a ride to the bar and not knowimg him or where he came from said I can't I'm going the other way.
After seeing that he got into our trucks I changed my mind and said ok and later he laughed when I told him that I lied that
day I didn't have to go the other direction and we have been good friends ever since. I'll miss talking to you every
weekend to see how we are doing. God bless you!

Cookie and I had a friendship
that
will never end, even in his passing. Anyone who knew Cookie should
hold their head up with pride, for they knew
one of the kindest people God has
ever made.
He loved his children above all else. His devotion to
them was unparalled. You are all truly blessed.
Cookie lives on
through the three of you.
Trish
