Mary Jane and family: I am so very grateful to have known Deacon Bill. He was a super help to me in obtaining my annulment so that Marty and I were able to have our marriage blessed in the Catholic faith. And he was so very thoughtful when I was laid up at home with my broken foot and brought me Holy Communion every week. But most of all, I cannot stress enough how much I needed and appreciated his help planning Marty’s funeral mass. May he rest in God’s Eternal Peace. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Our prayers for the Mary Jane & family for the loss of William Cook. He was a great assistant to Fr Matt and helper & friend of the Church. He would bring communion to the home bound too, etc.

Our prayers are with the whole family during this difficult time. Bill was a quiet gentle man. When I was in an ICU waiting room one year I was conversing with someone who was dealing with the suicide attempt of his son. We talked at length and I offered to contact Bill to come talk with him and he readily accepted. Bill was generous enough to come and spend time with this dad and his family to try to help them with their trauma. I know Bill helped many people deal with things in their life. He brought so much joy to Mary Jane and for that I am thankful. As a friend recently said, "we got to watch the love story grow" RIP Bill!

So many memories of my big brother. August 1974 I was16, he was 25. He drove his new Green Gremlin to Pine Knob (now DTE Energy) from Muskegon to Detroit to see my first Concert. We paid $5.00 each for lawn tickets. Full orchestra with John Denver. We spoke of it often and laughed. We shared the love of music. Bill gave me lessons on guitar, I was lousy, but he kept helping me. Bill was talented in singing and playing guitar.. Bill loved the Rosary, he passed that love onto me by explaining the mysteries and praying. So many beautiful memories, always in my heart. Your little sister.
