However, when he moved to another place, he realized he couldn’t leave Norma. In fact, they became such good friends that when Norma couldn’t live alone anymore and was in need of constant care, Salvatore, a 31-year-old actor, asked her to move in with him.
With no children or family nearby, she was all alone. “Her only option was for her to go to a facility,” he said for TODAY.
“I couldn’t do that to someone who’s like my grandmother.” “I am so happy I provided for her to live out her final days at home,” Salvatore told GoFundMe. “I can’t imagine how bad it’s to spend the last days of your life in a hospital without your friends or pets.”
This two turned out to be great roommates.
“We liked watching the news,” Cook said to TODAY. “We mainly talk and drink champagne and eat peanuts.”
Sadly, on February 15, 2017, Cook passed away. Salvatore shared the heartbreaking news on Instagram, where he usually shared the couple’s adventures.
Salvatore said that Cook called him the grandson she never had.
