Lee Richard Cook entered into the presence of his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ when he left us January 29, 2019 in Richmond, VA.
He was born August 5, 1947 to Shirley and Irene Ward Cook of Searsport, Maine.
Lee left Maine in the 60's when he was drafted into the Army which he served 2 years, came out and was in active reserves until he joined the United States Navy. He retired from the Navy in 1995 as Chief. During his time in the Navy he was a recruiter out of Bangor, Maine.
When he retired he opened his own business, Cook's Sewing Machine Sales and Services in Virginia. He built a new sewing machine called "The Carpet Wizard" in 2009. It was a walking foot carpet binding machine.
Along with running his business, the Navy was still in his life. He went on ships and repaired their sewing machines.
He went into complete retirement in 2010 after fifteen years in business. He was a member of the M/C (Vietnam Vets Biker's Club) out of North Carolina and CMA (Christian Motorcycle Assoc.) out of Virginia.
Preceded in death by his mother (2017).
