I have many fond memories of AC playing golf talking about the Dawgs or enjoying a nice meal. It is a warm obituary… and it is surely the AC we all knew and loved. We were in a group that took golf trips sometimes and AC was always pleasant and enjoyable company . He sometimes even shared his skills on the grill for the guys. Rest well my friend. You leave behind many warm memories.

- Gregg Evans, Savannah, GA

I will forever cherish the golf, trips and card games with AC! I loved him as a brother and he will be deeply missed by the 1794 BLITZ.

We will miss Anthony so much. He was a dear friend to our family. Praying for his sweet family and friends during this difficult time.

Anthony always greeted with friendly eyes, beautiful smile and a loving and kind heart. Whenever we were together there was always a fun story, laughter and genuine kindness. He will be greatly missed. He embraced life with his entire being. Please accept our condolences.

- Vince and Dianna Flagella, Savannah, Ga

Deepest condolences to all of the cool family on the loss of Anthony. He was such a kind man and enjoyable presence and I know how much he meant to those who loved him. As the father of one of my dearest friends, Anthony was a part of many of my fondest memories as well: my first Georgia football game; paying for my meal even when I ordered way too much (I once ordered 20 wings - except they were full sized drumsticks not the little ones- I ate them all with Anthony’s encouragement); coaching our Panthers basketball team; and encouraging me to get back up after my many wipeouts at the skate park. May those who loved him take solace in knowing he had such a great and positive impact on myself and so many more.

Julie We just heard about Anthony. I have always loved Anthony. He was the best boss anyone could have had and a very dear, caring friend that I have always cherished. His big ole smile always made me smile. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all! Wish we could be there, but know we are with you in spirit.

- Ken and Rebecca Beasley, SAVANNAH, GA

Anthony and I met at one of his first meetings on Skidaway with the Kiwanis Club. As a fellow retired dentist we immediately became good friends. His remarkable love for life and his wife and family became so apparent as our short friendship over the past few years developed. His kind heart and humor became apparent as he joined our golf group at The Landings and I was honored to introduce him to new golfing buddies. All of us that knew and loved Anthony became better people because of his attitude and kindness. He will be greatly missed.

- Rick Tallon, Savannah, Ga

Julie - I am so sorry to hear about Dr. Cook’s passing. He will be missed in so many communities (Dental, SGC, UGA, etc.). It’s been a complete pleasure knowing him in each of those environments.

Anthony and I attended elementary school together at Hancock Day School. He was always kind and fun. Anthony's mother also taught at Hancock.

I am so sorry for your loss. Anthony was a good man, a classmate, and my dentist for many years.

- Russell Grosse , Tybee Island, GA

What wonderful memories come to mind when I think about Anthony. Always a good friend to all and a loving son, father and husband to his family. He was a true professional who loved his work and an absolute DAWG when it came to facing adversity. Grace was his natural gift, and he gave everything he had to all he touched in his short, sweet life. He could create a smile just by being in the same room with you. He will be missed but not forgotten.

- Robert Rollings, Blairsville, GA

So saddened to learn of Anthony’s passing. His beautiful obituary tells the story of a wonderful life - well lived and well loved - in the years since we were classmates forever ago at Country Day. Sending prayers to family and friends.

Dear Cook family, I’m so sorry for your loss. I have such wonderful memories through my friendship with Travis. Having the Cook family at our college house for game day weekends at UGA comes to mind. Dr. Cook was a ray of positivity and was apart of the close nit dental community with my father. He will be missed and my love and thoughts are with Travis, Lexi and Mrs. Cook.

- Dickinson, Savannah , Georgie

Anthony was a true disciple of Christ, Giving and treating everyone one with gentleness and kindness. His smile was a reflection of his soul, radiating a spirit of joy. God keep you in the palms of His hand.

- Setona Barbara, Savannah , Georgia

Julie, I am saddened to hear the news about Anthony. He was a friend that offered to help me with anything, anytime! I especially remember years ago when a group of us jumped off a dock in the Moon River just because we could! Humor aside, Dentistry in Savannah just lost a true professional, and the world lost a southern gentleman! Kelly and I pray for peace for you and your children!

- David M Thomas, Savannah, GA

Julie & Family, I was so sorry to learn yesterday morning of his passing into spirit. I knew him through Rotary Club. As a new member, I always appreciated his warm and welcoming manner, his thoughtful; approach to things, and his good sense of humor. We shared one major life challenge: I, too, suffered a cerebral hemorrhage, five years ago. After a month's stay At St. Joseph's Hospital, I had to learn how to walk again. I was left with some residual left-side weakness, but was eventually able to resume a mostly-normal life and return to work, and Rotary. Anthony had slightly different challenges, but he always seemed to work through those difficulties with grace and good humor. I admired him tremendously for that. Savannah is lucky he made his home here, and I am lucky to have known him the little bit that I did. Heaven has gained another angel. Sincerely, Rafe Semmes Savannah South Rotary Club

- Rafe Semmes, Midway, GA

Anthony was my next door neighbor from the time I was 7 years old and he was 11. I have very fond memories of him, playing games, and listening to music. He was like a big brother I never had. May he rest in peace.
