It was an honor to work with Don through the Colorado Academy of Pediatrics.  While always maintaining his gentle approach, he accomplished much for the children of Greeley, of Colorado, and beyond.

Thank you Dr. Cook's family for sharing such a great man with me and the rest of the people he helped throughout his life. If the measure of a man is based on the positive impact he had on others, then we all have a little catching up to do.

Sylvia and I were quite distressed when we learned of Dr. Cook's passing.  Since we arrived in Greeley in the 70s, Dr. Cook had signifigance in our lives, not only as our sons (Gregory and Geoffrey) doctor, but also as a respected colleague as both Sylvia and I were employees of District Six during Don's tenure on the school board.  Our deep sympathies are extended to Elsie and the members of her family.  It will be impossible to find anyone capable of trying to replace Dr. Cook in this community---I can not think of anyone who could do so, so great were his contributions.  He will be missed tremendously.
Dr. Ken and Sylvia Humphrey

Dr. Cook was the most gentle, caring and pro-active man. From the Drug Referral Service at UNC to the Children's Clinic, he searched, promoted, and carried on the work of taking care of the young'uns. It was my honor to nominate him for DAR's Community Service Award when I was regent of the Centennial State Chapter. Love to Elsie and the family, May the Lord bless you with comfort and peace. Love, Joyce

Dr. Cook was my pediatrician.  And I really loved visiting him--he made children feel very comfortable and really cared.  My condolences to the family.  Sending you lots of prayers.

You were a great man, and you shaped my life forever! Thank you for being a great doctor!

I had the pleasure of working for Dr. Cook many years ago and also having him care for my children. I saw first hand how much he truly cared about his patients. Not only was he a wonderful Physician, but such a kind and caring person. His concern was for the health and safety of children, he didn't concern himself with their insurance or their economic status, only their health and well being. He was truly a wonderful person, and he will be greatly missed, but never forgotten. My condolences to Dr. Cook's family, and also a thank you for sharing him with so many people for so many years, we were all truly blessed to have him.

Don was an exceptional person.  I worked with Don for many, many years.  I am a Pueblo East High Graduate so Don and I had quite a few happy conversations about Pueblo.  He was a true advocate for healthy children and families.  He sat on the Child Protection Team with the County's Child Welfare Office and was invaluable in his advice about the welfare of children and families.  I will always remember Don and his kindness.  He lived his life in a most remarkabale way.

We are so sorry to hear of Dr. Cook's passing.  We are glad he died peacefully.  He was a special person to our family.  He took such good care of Cindy with all her health problems. He was always there for us! You are in our thoughts and prayers.

Elsie and family, What a wonderful person. Will never forget what he did for our family and Eddie. Was always there for us.

Our sincere sympathy to each member of the Cook family.  Our community has lost a very special person in  Don.
With deepest regrets,we are unable to attend the services as we are out of state.  Our thoughts are with you all.
The Dunn Family..

To the Family of Dr. Cook.  I want to express my deepest sympathy to you all.  Dr. Cook was the greatest doctor and I wanted him to continue to be my doctor, but he couldn't.  He was also my children's doctor, so it was nice to be able to see him and get his thoughts about kids and how to raise them healthy.  I know he is up in Heaven working hard to make all happy and healthy.  RIP Dr. Cook!
