Roy Henry Cook

Jones; four children, Roy M Cook of Orangeburg,  Reginia Bailey (Kevin) of Walterboro, Patty Sanders (Sigo) of Newton Falls, Ohio, and Randy Cook (Kathrine) of Asheville, North Carolina; a brother, Ray Cook of Moselle; two sisters, Urel Stone of Islandton and Fay Bouknight (Jimmy) of Irmo; eleven grandchildren; and ten great grandchildren.  In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by a brother, Daniel Cook; and three sisters, Trudy Dopson, Nell Gaits, and Daisy Mae Cook.
