SAD DAY YESTERDAY IN THE CLASSIC WOODY BOATING COMMUNITY
Yesterday, one of the seriously good men that I called a friend, – left us – David Cooke, skipper of TRINIDAD. David lost the battle in his amazing fight to beat the cancer that was razing his body.
Most other humans would have surcomed a long time ago but not Cookie, he amazed us and his doctors with his ability to counterattack and box on. But even the best can’t take the number of blows that David did for so long and the body said enough.
There will be a lot more said about David, the ‘seriously good bugger’, but today our thoughts and love go out to Barbara and the Cooke family.
