Earl B. Cook

1937 – 2014

Earl passed away peacefully on January 28, 2014, at the Maples Personal Care Home.

He will be sadly missed by his wife Rhoda, of 46 years, daughters Georgette (Marty), Angela (Andrew), both of Winnipeg, Aishah Tamara (Ayman) of Philadelphia and his beloved granddaughter, Sumayah.

Earl was born in Meaford, Ontario to Clara (Johnston) and H. Elmer Cook on March 2, 1937. He spent his early years there, coming to Manitoba with the military in the early 1950’s. After his military service he found his home within the insurance industry. For many years he was on Nairn Avenue with Unicity Insurance.

Earl was always the gentleman, kind and caring. His love of antique cars started as a young boy and lasted his whole life. He enjoyed owing many cars over the years. His great joy was owing a Pierce Arrow for over 20 years. He had a passion for golf and pool.

The family would like to thank the staff at the Maples for their gentle and kind care and to his caregivers, who helped to make his life easier these last few years.

Thanks Herb, you were a true and faithful friend.

Cremation has taken place. A memorial service to celebrate Earl’s life will be held Thursday, February 6, 2014 at 2:00 at Klassen Funeral Home, 1897 Henderson Highway.

Flowers gratefully declined. Donations can be made to the Parkinson Society of Manitoba, 414 Westmount Dr, Winnipeg, MB R2J 1P2 or a charity of your choice.

Forever in our thoughts, forever in our hearts.
