I've been following this and while I haven't had the opportunity to meet any one of you fellows in person it is an honor to be among a group of individuals who care so much. I had a high school classmate who was in similar circumstances some years ago. While it was a terrible time for all, there was much good that came from it. We all know in our hearts and minds that life is full of pain and sorrow we also know that from the ashes of that love and comfort can and most certainly will come. God bless each and every one of you and of course we all place "Cookie" at the head of the line for those blessings.

The young man is Spencer, son of Christine's best friend from New Zealand, who is stating with them and going to school here. A cool kid; he and I walked around at the Quail, checking out the bikes, making fun of the announcer, and generally having a good time. I think that Bum took that pic, there wasn't room enough at that tiny table for he and his wife to sit..
It is tough to hear the news about Cookie, but I'm sure that he will meet his last days with the ready wit he is known for, surrounded by the people he loves...who could ask for anything more?
It is funny how friendships can spring up between people; starting with a very funny moment at the train station when we met, Cookie and I entertained each other with a constant flow of stories during that long drive when we picked up his LTD in LA and drove it to his house in one day...a very funny guy...He will be sorely missed...

My heart goes out to you Christine. May you find strength knowing myself and so many others love Cookie.

Please tell him I said He is well known for cleaning Master Cylinders with a guitar string.
That ought to make him smile

My thoughts are with you. We miss him around here!

Good wrenchin'

Ohhh no.
Ohhh no no no

Just found this thread after a long time not being on the forum.

Just can not find the right words to express my sorrow.
Please tell him he's in our thoughts.

Cookie is blessed with a great sense of humour.
I'm quite sure he will appreciate a fitting quote:

"I am ready to meet my Maker.
Whether my Maker is prepared for the great ordeal
of meeting me is another matter."

-Winston Churchill

To be loved and respected by your family...
To have them by your side in the end...
To know that others are there for you...
To walk to the end of the road without pain or suffering...

No one could ask for more than that.

My thoughts are with you and your family.

Saddened to hear the news,Christine.. My prayers go out to Cookie and your family.

I like many others on the list were first greeted by Cookie,and although I never met him in person,he is a true friend and fellow winger...

Yes that is a comfort to us. I just wish there was a way that we could provide some comfort for you and him.

I never had the privilege of meeting Cookie, but feel as if I have know him. Thanks for your time and encouragement to the newbies like myself. You always made me feel like I could conquer any task! My heart is saddend for his entire family. Ernie

Very sad to read this, tell Cookie he is still in my prayers.

Good Day Christine;
We have him in our thoughts and prayers;
