I was saddened to hear of Judge Cooke's passing. I very much enjoyed working in his cabinet at the General Court in Luxembourg. He was hugely clever and knowledgeable and I learned a lot from his thorough, precise and considered approach to legal issues. He was also kind and courteous, with a great sense of humour. My deepest condolences to Sally and to the rest of the family.

Sincere condolences to the Cooke family on your loss. Judge Cooke was a superb lawyer who has left a mark on European and Irish law. Off the bench he was unfailingly courteous and contributed hugely to legal and academic debate. May he rest in peace.

Sally and family,
Deeply felt condolences to you and all the family. Fond memory of recent outing and dinner in Killarney. One of the first lawyers to engage with " Common Market Law" , his erudition, wit and humour will live long with those who were fortunate to have served with him. Tolerant and gentle always, he never compromised his academic rigour.
Maybhe rest in peace and may you find some comfort in your memories of the good times.

My sincere sympathies. John was an inspirational advocate and a superb hardworking judge. He set standards for others to follow. He was also a good person. At the Bar he was a hugely successful commercial silk, diligent in his care for the affairs of his client and at the same time helpful to colleagues especially younger members of the Bar. He was decent, amiable and a good friend. May he enjoy eternal happiness.

Dear Dave and family,
Our sincere condolences on the loss of your Dad. Our thoughts are with you all.

My sincere condolences to Sally and the Cooke family. I'm very sorry to learn of John's death. He was a brilliant lawyer, both as counsel and later as judge and he set my mind at rest on many occasions when he was "on my side". I was lucky to never be on the opposite side to John. Such was my regard for him that if I ever saw a difficult issue on the horizon as a solicitor, I ensured that I had engaged John before the opposition could do so. He was always patient and courteous while being erudite and scholarly. He'll be missed by all who knew him.

Dear Sally and family,
I was so sad to hear of John's passing. He was a gentleman.
Thinking of you all at this sad time and you and John are in my prayers. Xx
