B. T. “Tom” Cook passed away Thursday evening, January 10, 2019, surrounded by family and close friends.
The love of his life, Mary, passed away 9 months earlier. They had celebrated 50 years of marriage. He is survived by 4 of his 5 children, many (10) grandchildren and (4) great-grandchildren.
He was a member of Christ the King Catholic Church and received last rites several months ago before rebounding and getting dismissed from the hospital last summer.
During his illustrious career, he represented many people from Coast-to-coast. Some you would recognize, such as actor, John Wayne. Others too, you would know of, but their identities and files remain permanently sealed.
He is the private detective featured in the 2018 book, ALMOST A MURDER.
Tom was a gentle soul and a true peacemaker, as he often counseled couples not to divorce. He will sorely be missed by all whose lives were touched by his loving kind and compassionate spirit.
