William "Huck" Huckaby Cook

William Huckaby Cook entered into eternal rest on May 2, 2025 at Christus Highland Medical Center in Shreveport.

He was 89 years old, a native of Grand Cane and resident for the past twenty years. He was a graduate of LSU and served in the National Guard at Fort Polk during the Berlin Crisis. Transferred to New Orleans in 1975, he worked at One Shell Square for Shell Oil Company as a pipeline contractor for 28 years. In retirement, he returned to his beloved Grand Cane where he served as an alderman and enjoyed the country life among friends and family. With his warm smile and hearty laugh, calming presence and quiet strength, he will be deeply and sorely missed.

Survivors include his wife, Joyce Ann Cook of Grand Cane; his daughter, Stephanie Paige Cook of Grand Cane; his son, Dr. William Clayton Cook and his wife Allison Jane Cook of Shreveport; his granddaughter, Elizabeth Chapman Cook of Shreveport; and his grandson, William Clayton Joseph Cook of New Orleans.
