Received from Chris Goodner, more sad news…
I want to add another name to lengthening list of departed classmates.
John Cook passed away at his home in Laytonville, CA on August 24, 2010. John had long suffered from and died from complications of a brain tumor. Bruce Scott,my wife Stacey and I spent an afternoon with John, his wife Airie and son Daniel a few days prior to his passing. John was in good humor and told me I didn’t deserve Stacey because she was so beautiful. He always had a thing for my wife. We all laughed about it.
He is deeply missed,
Chris Goodner

He was a self-employed painting contractor in the Willits area for 40 years, and enjoyed photography, travel, gardening and friendships.
John was an Eagle Scout, and tennis player, a member of the Sierra Club and the Mount Tamalpais Conservation Club.
He is survived by his father, Stephen C Cook; wife Sherryn Cook; son Daniel Cook; brother Sam Cook; and sister Mary Cook Goodson.
He was preceded in death by his mother, Dorothy L Cook (White); and brother Robert Cook.
No services are scheduled; a gathering of friends will be held at a later date.
Arrangements are under the care and direction of Anker-Lucier Mortuary.
