Many fond memories of Cole beginning in the late 70s. My Dad and I owned Fountain County Livestock and sold hogs to Cole for a long time. I was very saddened to hear this news. I considered Cole a great friend of mine. He will be missed I am sure.

I meet Cole 10 years ago, he was a regular at Family Express for his morning coffee. My whole family loved Cole as they all got to know him.
My daughter’s favorite memory was when she was trying to get tips for helping me at work. He told her I have a tip for you “get a job!” Then handed her 20 bucks. His nickname for me was “on time all the time “ because I was always late opening the store and he would be there waiting on me.
Cole talked a lot about his grandson and daughter showing me pictures. He was very proud and the love he has for both was amazing to see. My deepest sympathy to Cole’s family. He was truly one of a kind and be missed by so many.

I was a fellow classmate with Cole. I always liked him. I just moved back to Indiana and haven't seen him in years. I recently heard of his new relationship with Joy and want to express my sincere sympathy for her unexpected loss as well as to Cole's extended family. He will be missed by many.

Went to kindergarten with Cole and always remembered him. Must’ve made quite an impact at 5 years old Moved to Pike’s Crossing and finished school at Washington Twp. Never saw him again until he came into the Thorntown Vet Clinic for meds of some kind. Kidded him about our “history” together. Was so easy to talk toso happy to see he had connected with Joy, another old friend. So very sorry to Joy and his family! Prayers for peace and comfort
