Joe R Cook, age 90, of Hibbing, passed away on October 2, 2018, at Wedum Hospice in Brooklyn Park MN. He was born on May 22, 1928, in Grove Lake MN, to Ira and Evalena (Elwood) Cook.
Throughout his long life, Joe brightened the lives of so many people with his kind words, thoughtfulness and support of others. After growing up in Grove Lake, and a stint in the US Army, Joe moved to Rapid City SD, where he was married to Darlene E Flanagan at Trinity Lutheran Church. Together with their two daughters, they moved to Hibbing, where they spent the majority of their lives. They also spent time during Joe's career as an engineer in Michigan and Maryland, and later spent the long Minnesota winters in Mesa AZ. And, at each of these places, Joe's easy-going and friendly manner ensured that he touched many lives.
Joe is survived by his daughter, Linda Weigel; granddaughter, Jessica Setness; grandsons: Dave Holden, Mark Weigel, Jeff Weigel and Stephen Weigel; two great-grandchildren; and many nieces and nephews.
