Obituary: Dr. Bruce F. Cook-Long Serving Director of Bands and Founding Director of the Brooks Dr. Bruce Farrell Cook, former Director of Bands, Professor of Music, and Founding Director of the Robert Howell Brooks for the Performing Arts at Clemson University, passed away on 21 at Hospice of the Upstate in Anderson, South Carolina, after a year-long battle with cancer. Cook, 81, was a resident of Clemson SC. Dr. Cook was born on 24, 1933, in Quanah, Texas, to Earl r Cook and Dorothy Faye (Jarrell) Cook. The youngest of three children, Cook spent his early life working on the family farm during the years between the Great Depression and World War II. He often fondly recalled the trials of farm life, and the close relationships between him, his siblings and many cousins in this close-knit community. Particular among them were hijinks with his brother, Ray, his cousins, Jack Sides, Don and Galen Givens, Stanley and Doug Jarrell, and neighbors Jimmy and Charlie McSpadden; harvesting cotton and other crops, and going on cattle drives from one family ranch to another. He remained close to his brother, Raborn Earl (Ray) Cook and sister, Dorothy Lunette Dickson, throughout his life, and cherished opportunities to stay connected to their children and his extended family. Cook attended West Texas State (Now West Texas A & M University) in Canyon, Texas. At WTSC, he was involved in Kappa Kappa Psi Honorary Band and Alpha Sigma Xi social fraternity, and played in a swing band, the Collegians, with his roommate, John Butler, with whom he would maintain a friendship for over 60 years. a lack of acumen for accounting derailed a brief change of major to business, he was awarded his bachelors degree in Music in 1954. Like many of his generation, Cook was moved to serve his country, following the examples set by his brother, who served in the Navy Submarine Service, and cousins Jack and Stanley, who served as fighter pilots in the European theatre during World War II. Both cousins were shot down. Stanley perished in a mission over Germany and Jack survived a crash in the Mediterranean to return to the States with the aid of Russian forces. The younger cousins, Don and Galen, would later become pilots. Galen served as a test pilot, and became a member of NASAs Apollo program before dying in a car accident in 1967. Despite the winding down of the Korean War, following graduation, he asked the local draft board to move his name to the top of the list, and with his fathers encouragement, followed the harvest between their farms in Colorado and Texas until his number was called. He served in the US Army from 1954-1956. His musical talent led to acceptance to an Army Band training unit, and assignment to the 23rd Infantry Division Band at Fort Clayton, Panama Canal. He was released from duty in 1956, with a final rank of Master Sergeant, and began his first teaching position, as Band Director for McLean High School in McLean Texas. In 1959, Cook accepted the position John Butler was leaving at Tulia High School. During his time at Tulia, the band program grew and earned many awards, including recognition as the Class AAA Texas Honor Band in 1965. In 1964, he met his future wife, Patricia Elaine Eakins, who had been hired as Tulias new drama teacher. Later that fall, he worked up the courage to ask her out for coffee, and they began dating. kept their relationship discreet, to the point of having dates in Plainview, which was over 20 miles away, to avoid becoming the object of small-town gossip. Not long after Cook introduced Eakins to his mother during the 1965 Easter Break, they got engaged, and set a wedding date for 2, 1965. At the last band concert that year, students and colleagues surprised them, when, at the end of Highlights from The Unsinkable Molly Brown, the band began playing The Wedding , and showered them with gifts. Following a honeymoon in Taos and Santa Fe, New Mexico, they would both enroll at West Texas State for graduate programs, where Cook completed his Masters Degree in 1965. went on to enjoy 49 years of marriage together, raising four children, and enduring cross-state moves between South Carolina and Texas, as Cook pursued his education and career aspirations. In 1966, Cook accepted an invitation to visit Clemson University, to discuss serving as Interim Director of Bands, during Butlers leave of absence to attend the University of Georgia for doctoral studies. In fall 1967, Cook was invited to stay on as Assistant Director of Bands. Cook and Butler worked to expand and improve the Bands and the offerings of the Department of Music. From 1971 to 1973, Cook took his own leave of absence to pursue a Doctorate of Musical Arts degree at the University of Texas at Austin. During the Spring of 1976, he was promoted to Associate Professor of Music and was primarily responsible for the marching band and pep bands. The position did not include summer work, so Cook worked at the Campus Bookstore as well as taking over a friends newspaper route to make ends meet. Appointed Director of Bands in 1980, Cook was actively involved in all aspects of Tiger Band until 1990, at which time he became the Founding Director of the Robert Howell Brooks for the Performing Arts. Under his direction, many Tiger Band traditions were established or ensconced at Clemson, including the revival of the football teams tradition of running down the hill through the band formation, the script spelling of Tigers, the dotting of the i by selected honorees, and the re-emergence of purple as a Clemson color after the band made it their preferred color for sectional t-shirts, and began regularly chanting Purple during the cross-stadium Orange-White cheers. He was honored in 1984 to receive the Gator Farr Award for Outstanding and Dedicated Support of Clemson Athletics. Retired since continued... |
