Gary Cook Sr.

Gary Ronald “Joe” Cook, Sr. of Beecher, IL, passed away suddenly on August 17, 2019 in Tomahawk, WI, at the age of 73. He was born in Chicago, IL on July 29, 1946 to the late Richard and Sally (nee Mitchen) Cook.

He is survived by his beloved wife Margie (nee Lloyd). They were married on October 3, 1964 at St. Stephens Methodist Church in Chicago, IL. That union produced four children he loved dearly – Nancy Ramirez, Gary, Jr. (Cynthia) Cook, Adam (Karen) Cook and Jason (Jodi) Cook. He is further survived by 14 grandchildren and 6 great grandchildren whom he adored.

He leaves behind his sisters – Margaret (late Robert) Rosinski, Janet (Tom) Wilson, and Kathy (Don) Chrisman. Also two brothers – Richard (Gail) Cook and Dennis (late Lynise) Cook. His sisters-in-law Janet (Ron) Vuich and Judy (Albert) Antoniazzi and brothers-in-law Rocky and Robert Lloyd, and many nieces and nephews.

He was also preceded in death by a granddaughter, Janie Cook, a great grandson Aiden Ramirez and a brother, Raymond Cook, Sr.

Joe was born and raised on Chicago’s south side. He started working at Verson AllSteel Press Co. as a machinist in 1964, and continued his employment there until they closed in 2001. He then worked at Power Brake Dies until his retirement in 2012. Joe and Margie lived in Dolton, IL for 33 years before moving to Beecher in 2002.

They bought a piece of property in 1979 next door to his parents on the Spirit River in Tomahawk, WI. They soon built a home there and enjoyed many summers fishing, boating and swimming with their family and friends. Joe loved his “Wisconsin House,” and spent his last days there.

His passing leaves huge holes in our family, and the towns of Tomahawk, WI and Beecher, IL, of which Joe was a vital part.
