My deepest sympathy goes out to the family of Ralph Cook. I worked with Ralph at the Asheville Police Dept. He will be missed.
Linda and family – We just became familiar with this on-
line memorial with the death
of our father/husband. We hope you will read our note
and know that we have not forgotten the great loss of a wonderful man – a cousin – a
community hero – and that you will know you remain in our thoughts and prayers.
