They had three children, Kayla Cook Swoape of Woodbury, Tenn., Jana Cook of Little Rock and Daniel Cook of Sherwood. They spent most of their lives together in the North Little Rock/Sherwood area. Despite one income, they were able to support all their children through college.
Bill was an avid baseball fan. He almost made the major leagues but for an arm injury his senior year in high school. He enjoyed baseball, country cooking, chocolate and a quirky sense of humor.
