Julian Powell Cook Jr, of Richmond, Va,. passed away on November 23. 2021 surrounded by family at home, after a long and hard-fought battle with esophageal cancer.

He developed an interest in metalworking and blacksmithing with his son, Julian III, and was an active member of the Central Virginia Blacksmith Guild and the Artist Blacksmith Association of North America. He loved to cook, to grill in particular, and made a brisket that will be talked about for years to come.

Julian is survived by his wife Barbara, his son Julian III (Stephanie), grandchildren Rhiannon and Brixton, and brothers Carter, John (Stacey) and Thomas (Terrie). He was preceded in death by his parents, Julian Sr. and Bettie Cook.
