Nathaniel Cook, Jr.

Nathaniel attended Lothrop Elementary School, Horace Mann Jr. High, and Technical High School.
Jr., as he was lovingly called by his siblings was an avid baseball player in his youth. His best game was when he hit a grand slam, winning the game for his team.
Jr. loved to peruse flea markets where he often found trinkets or treasures, sometimes giving them to someone he thought might enjoy them. He loved watching movies and amassed an extensive collection of VHS movies, DVDs, and music. He also enjoyed reading.
Jr. was always trying to help someone. He would cut grass or do odd jobs for neighbors and friends. He often took in people who he saw was in need.

He was preceded in death by his parents Nathaniel Sr. and Doris Cook; maternal grandparents Harvey and Lucinda McCoy, paternal grandparents Emanuel Cook Sr. and Pearl Cook and Madeline Cook; two sisters Ellean Cook and Vera Lee Pruitt, two nephews and two great-nephews.
