Remembrance to The Dean of Oaks North

(click on photo to enlarge)

The above photo shows Dean Cooksy in one of his colorful shirts presiding over the 2007 Annual Meeting of the Oaks North Mens Golf Club. Dean served as President of the club during the years of 1995, 1996, 2005, 2006, and 2007. He passed away recently after a long illness. Dean was one of the finest men most of us will ever know. He will not be forgotten.

Our fellow-golfer Steve Tighe serves on the club's Board of Directors. The multi-talented Steve wrote the following poem in remembrance of his departed friend:

You could see it in his eyes

He was one of the good guys.

His ready smile was sunshine

On the first tee.

His friendly face

Matched his warm welcome.

He loved the game of golf

And like a good course

He was fair but firm.

He'd offer you praise

But never a gimmee.

He was a great president

The Dean of Oaks North.

--Steve Tighe
