Rick Cook: A Celebration of Life

1944 – 2022


Please join family & friends old and young to celebrate the Life and Gifts of Rick Cook

Remembered by Wizards & Wiz fiction readers everywhere, Rick Cook imbedded his knowledge of early computer programming into his fantasy & sci-fi books, stories, articles, and witty puns & jokes.

Forever honored as a Founder of Atenveldt, Sir Richard Ironsteed co-created a new kingdom in the Society for Creative Anachronism, won Crown tournament, and reigned as the first King of Atenveldt.

In 2018, Rick was preceded into the beyond by his beloved wife Pati (aka Baroness Leonore or Fuzzy.) May Rick & Pati ever laugh and love together in the hereafters of their choice.
