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.

Cindy, we are so sorry to hear about Ron and send our love to you and your family. Ron was so much fun and always had a smile and a good joke to share. Ron was much loved. Allyn and Susan Becar

Dr. Cockrell was our dentist for 20 years in Colorado Springs. He is the nicest, sweetest painless dentist I have ever had and he was also a sweet nice guy that would help you out with anything. Our condolences to his family. he will be missed.

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

Dr C. Took care of our family starting in 1971. We are all very sad at hearing of his passing, and send condolences, prayers and love to his family at this difficult time of loss. I'm sure there are many, many people that will miss him, and his talents and humor. Sending prayers for all who knew and loved him as our family did.

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!

I am saddened to hear of Dr C's passing. He was a good man, a man that I considered a friend as well as a great dentist. I will miss him.
