He was born on April 7, 1948 to Garland and Mozell Cook in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma and grew up with siblings, who he is survived by, Theron Cook, Linda Bates, Donald Cook, and Jerry Cook and preceded him in death, Larry Cook. Fatherhood found Gary in which he welcomed daughter, Trina Wilmoth, into the world in 1966. He then began his career as a skillful machinist and built his specialty working for several large machine companies such as GE, Honeywell, and Industrial Machine Company. In 1984, Gary became a proud father again when Gary’s son, Justin Cook was born. He opened the Silver Bullet, which became a home to many and he, became their family. After a dedicated 35+ years of service as a machinist he retired and continued to host with open arms at the Silver Bullet. Gary lived his life in accordance with his motto, “work more hours”. His commitment to his work brought more than just a service, but a place of comfort to those who knew him. He was a proud son, brother, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather. He will be dearly missed by his children, Trina Wilmoth and her husband Sam; Justin Cook and his wife Alena Cook; siblings, Theron Cook, Linda Bates, Donald Cook, and Jerry Cook; grandchildren, Tyler Wilmoth, and his wife Kayla, Jacob Wilmoth, Shailey Lewis, Jesalyn Cook, and Zoey Wilmoth; and great-grandchildren, Aker and Pike Wilmoth. A funeral service is scheduled for 2:00 pm on February 3, 2021 at Sunny Lane Funeral Home on Southeast 29th Street. Gary never said “goodbye”, so for now “see ya later”.
