Jack Cook

Jack Cook passed away on May 21, 2013.  You can read his obituary in the Edmond Sun for more information.

I received an email last week from Paul Waits saying. “My name is Paul C. Waits.  I worked at both the Bryant Square and Edmond Plaza locations during my early adult years.  I absolutely loved the retail business back then and have nothing but great memories of my time at TG&Y.  I also worked at Cook’s True Value Hardware, just up the sidewalk of the Bryant Square store.  Jack Cook become a second father to me and I attribute much of my maturity and retail skills to him.  He and I both “got it” when it came to retail and customer service.”

There were also positive comments on our Facebook Page.  Our thoughts and prayers are with Jack’s family during this difficult time.
