William Warren "Bill" Cook

It is with profound sadness that we, the family, announce the passing of a great man, Bill, on April 12, 2017 at the age of 88. Bill died peacefully at his home, surrounded by the love of family. Devoted husband of Eve for nearly 65 years. Bill joins his son, William Warren Cook ‘Billy’ in Heaven. He will be deeply missed by his daughter Kim Stokes (Chuck); grandchildren Will Stokes (Erin), Carlie Merkley (Brian); and four beautiful great-grandchildren: Tristin, Ian, Brooke and Caleb. Bill was a successful businessman, enjoying every moment with partner of 65 years, Bud White (Marlene). They shared hard work, success and immense friendship. Eve and Bill had a passion for travel, touring the globe several times, making lifelong memories and friendships. A private interment will take place. Family and friends are invited to join in a Celebration of Bill’s life at THE GRANITE CLUB, 2350 Bayview Ave., Toronto, on Monday, April 24, 2017 at 11 a.m. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the SPCA, a tribute that Bill would appreciate on behalf of all the ‘furry friends’ of the world that he adored.
