Cookie was the one who introduced me to Small Shots.We sat for hours at the conventions taking shots from others about collecting dolls.He took it in stride and usually had a quip in return.He was one of the Good ones and will be dearly missed.Our Thoughts and Prayers go out to the entire family.

He was a great guy and always did everyone right. I remember the last time I saw him in Riverside, I chatted with him for about 10 minutes. He was buying antifreeze US bugs and I just happened to have a couple with me. He bought them both and then I bought a killer purple grasshopper from him. He threw in a killer aqua US Bandit with the deal.

When I looked in his eyes, shook his hand and thanked him, he said..."No Jeff, thank you." He was such a nice, sincere man it brings a tear just thinking about him being gone.

My Dad taught us boys that one can learn a lot about a mans character by his handshake and the look in his eyes.

Cookies handshake and eyes educated me more than any words could ever teach me about him.

Rest in Peace, My friend...Rest in Peace.

This is terrible news, Cookie was a great man and fun to talk with at the Conventions and Frank 'N Sons. Always in good spirits with great stories, you will be greatly missed.

My condolances go out to the family in their time of grieving, R.I.P. Cookie.
