It has been a real privilege to have known Martin and all of the Cook family. From being a young child playing with the boys to a grown up who didn’t see any of you enough. Martin made our weekends taking us swimming or showing us his recent addition to the trains in the loft. A gently spoken man, with a massive heart. Sleep peacefully xx

I met Martin and Elizabeth, almost 40 year ago, on a working party organised by the late Eileen Clayton. We were warmly welcomed by them and my late husband Pete Arnold and I struck up a friendship with him from then. Martin was a dedicated supporter of the Ffestiniog Railway and a good friend. I have many fond memories of a truly lovely man.

Thank you for setting up this memorial to Martin. We hope that you find it a positive experience developing the site and that it becomes a place of comfort and inspiration for you to visit whenever you want or need to.
