Rob Cook passed away from a fall in 1969. He was a med student and had a summer construction job. He fell in a hole and was in a vegetative state for a short period of time until he passed away. (This information was received in 2007)
Rob completed his freshman year in pre-med. Rob & Mike Merrill and I all took Chemistry 105 & Chemistry 106 together. This was the pre-med & pre-dental chemistry. Its goal was to "weed out" 1/2 of the pre-meds & pre-dental students.It did a good job at that. Very tough inorganic chemistry courses.
Mike, Rob & I all did well. (A tribute to oue education at Paschal).
Rob was working a construction job in the summer of 1969. Rob suffered a tragic, construction accident. Rob died in the accident.
His funeral was at church on Loop 820. I am pretty sure it was Westminster Presbyterian Church.
Mike Merrill and I were there.
It was a BIG SHOCK to Mike & me. It was a BIG SHOCK to everyone.
Richard, thanks again for the memories. Rob and I dated the last semester of our senior year and into the summer. Went to all senior activities together, had summer fun, then off to Baylor for him.
The accident didn't kill him outright He was at St. Joseph's hospital for some time after some surgery, but finally developed pneumonia which did him in. Mike got to see him in ICU, but no one else other than family got to see him.
His funeral was at St. Christopher's Episcopal on Loop 820. We will never understand why brilliant people like Rob are taken at such a you age.
Dear Dianna: hello. Thank you for your corrections to my memorial note about Rob. I really appreciate you doing this.
Wow. You & Rob dated your senior year. Very special. Dianna, did you go by Diane when we were in school together ? All the best to you. Again, thank you so much for corrections. Very sincerely, Rick
Yes, I was so "in love" with Rob...lol...thought I would end up marrying a doctor. (Silly girl). I actually was married to another of our classmates for about 5 years, Wendell Ward.
Went by Dianne since everyone called me that anyway. Thanks, again, for the memories. I'm assuming you are retired. Hope you are have a good life.
