Dearest Dr. Cockrell,
I am so thankful that Kevin and I got to visit with you when we ran into you and Cindy at dinner. You were always so kind to my brother Alan, my mom and me. I have known you and your family for 45 years. Thank you for always being a " true " friend and example to the Wixom's. Blessings to your family and much love to Cindy who my mom adores. I will see you again when I get home. Thanks for sharing with me what you did when I saw you last. Gave me insight into my life. You answered questions I have carried since childhood. Love you Brother Ron! You were always a class act.

Prayers and peace to the Cockrell family. Dr. C had kind heart, inviting smile, great sense of humor, and a steady hand... All the qualities you search for in a great dentist. He has been missed since retiring now missed even more after hearing of his passing. I'm sure he is charming all the angels in heaven.

My daughter and I wanted to express our deepest condolences to Mrs. C and all the family. I worked for Dr. C as one of his Hygienists for many years. I always appreciated his care for our patients and his love for his church and family. He was a treasure of a man.

This is so sad. Dr. C was our family and extended families "personal dentist." Well, that's how he made us feel. I am sitting here in tears because we will miss him, his sense of humor and his boyish charm. Here's to you Dr. C! BTW "Don still has his mustache!" Tears....

Dr. C was my dentist from 1978 (age 14) until he retired. Was a great dentist and better man. Always tried to marry me off while in the chair :)

Best to his family

I met Dr C in passing when I started at the office with Dr Z and he ALWAYS made a point when he came in to ask me how I was adjusting to a new specialty and encourage me to hang in there. It was so appreciated and I'm sorry for your loss he had a great heart and contagious smile!
