Not only was Bobby a big Auburn fan, but he also loved to watch WWE Wrestling. He made sure to call family members to let them know what time and channel so they could watch also. Bobby was truly a happy go lucky kind of guy who made everyone feel good inside. He enjoyed spending time at the Jaxon Life Senior Center, playing Dominoes and getting his daily steps in with his wife, whom he called, Lee. He took such wonderful care of Lee, until she recently passed away. They had a beautiful home in Eufaula and were members of Sardis Freewill Baptist Church.

Bobby loved his church family dearly and continued to attend even after he was admitted to Crown Health Care Facility. His close friends Jerry Marshall and Dylan Patterson were gracious enough to pick him up for church every Sunday.

Although Bobby never had any children of his own, he gained many children and grandchildren during his 15-year marriage to Mamie Lee. It’s been said that “Blood makes us related” …but greater still…” love makes us family”. Bobby was most definitely loved and truly considered a grandfather and great grandfather.

In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his first wife, Katie Jane Cook, his second wife, Mamie Lee Cook, his three sisters, Lena Mae Tew, Elizabeth Brutkiewicz, Bettie Parrish, and his only brother, William (Billy) Cook.
