Guestbook shares memories of the late Chaunce Cook

The funeral was Friday for Clarence “Chaunce” Cook, the 73-year-old thrower killed by a discus at a Texas meet. Haven’t heard details of the memorial service, but an obituary by the mortuary provides more depth about the man’s life and loves. And a phenomenon of the Internet Age — an online guestbook — shares tributes to Chaunce. Said one: “What a guy! What a grin! What a competitor! What a “husker”! We had so many great memories with you both. I smile from ear to ear with every memory. The good lord took a good one from us, but he didn’t take the memories.”
