He was at home when he was underneath a car with greasy hands and filthy clothes. Bob loved spending time outdoors, especially hunting and fishing. He had a soft spot in his heart for animals, and was sure to keep treats in full supply for the neighborhood pets. His family was his greatest achievement in life, and his love knew no boundaries. Surviving are his love and companion Elva Avery, daughters Donna LaBar and Tina Pettis , sons Robert “Larry” Cook and Richard Cook, step-daughter Renee Foradori; grandchildren Gina, Donna, Kenny, Monica, Jessica, Tommy, Jenny, Marky, Joey, Carly, Maddie, Holly, and Loretta; brothers Donald Cook and Delmar Cook; five great grandchildren, as well as many nieces, nephews, and extended family members.
