    I met Richard about 5 years ago when I met his beautiful daughter Teresa. Richard was an incredible man. His life experiences and stories touched me in a way I never would have expected. Rest in peace my dear friend.

    Sending love to the entire Cook family. Your dad was such a wonderful man. Such fond memories of your mom and dad on Newton Rd. Always a photo-op no matter what the occasion. He captured so many classics over the years!
