A memorial service for Daniel Thomas Cook will be held at 3 p.m. on Saturday, December 28, at St. Augustine Chapel on Rose Street, across from the University of Kentucky’s Guignol Theatre.
The service and tribute will include musical selections, reminiscences and a simple dinner.
Cook, 71, a neighbor on Given Avenue, died peacefully in his sleep Dec. 17.
His widow, Elaine, is chair of the Mentelle Neighborhood Association’s tree committee and often donates her musical talents for neighborhood gatherings. She is the harpist with the Lexington Philharmonic Orchestra.
In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to the UK School of Music’s “Friends of Music,” the Lexington Philharmonic Orchestra, WEKU-FM or Central Academy of Music, where the Cooks’ grandsons, Jamie and Aaron, have taken music lessons.
“Any one of these would please Dan and would be a fitting tribute to him,” Elaine said.
Please join the Mentelle Neighborhood Association board in expressing our condolences to Elaine and her family.
