RIP Rev Bob Cook - DMCW

[Frank Cordaro]

 Rev Bob Cook, my best friend and DMCW died this afternoon at Methodist Hospital. His body shut down and there was little that could be done by the time Jason and Steve, 

Bob's sons arrived, there was little they could do about his situation. Bob died with his two sons and Rev Amy Bruner at his bedside, praying him into Heaven.

    Bob will be cremated. Date, time and place for a celebration of life will follow.

From April 2025 DMCW via pacis "What's Happening" by FC p.1

  Third on my list of absent Manning House loves, Rev. Bob Cook. Bob has lived with us in decline for a couple of years. After he had his knee operated on, and in his efforts to recover, he suffered major setbacks. After numerous visits to local emergency rooms and ambulance rides, he was admitted to the Rehabilitation Center of Des Moines behind the Lutheran Hospital just across the river from us to recover.

 It’s hard to see how Bob can recover enough to return to us at Manning House. I miss him in a big way. We go back 48 years to the beginning of the DMCW. 

It is not easy to see your best friend suffer like this.  

Please keep Bob in your prayers and come visit if you can ...

 Bob continues to be passionate about Legacy of Light, his charity that helps to provide solar electricity in El Salvador. For the cost most of us pay each month to light our homes, you can provide one of these families with permanent solar electricity. Please give anything you can – large or small donations are welcome.

Send a check to Legacy of Light at 1317 8th Street, Des Moines, Iowa 50311 with the note For Legacy of Light if interested.
