Cook, Malcolm James:
According to his wishes, Malcolm died peacefully at home with his family and dogs by his side on October 29, 2020 at the age of 79. Malcolm is survived by his beloved wife of 33 years, Barbara. He leaves behind his two loving daughters Suzanne Cook (Ronald Blechner) of Brampton and Julie Cook (Kirk Kahu) of Hong Kong. He will be missed as Grandpa Cook by his five adoring and awesome grandchildren Ryan, Shaelynn, Megan, Liliana and Mateo. His siblings the late Ronald, Stuart (Nancy) Chandler, Jean Langdon-Ford (Lewis) will cherish his memory. Malcolm was predeceased by Janice Cock. He will be remembered dearly by many nieces, nephews and extended relatives and friends from Nova Scotia.
Malcolm was an educator at heart. He taught many years at KCI in Kitchener and at College Heights in Guelph as a Physical Education, Special Education and Science teacher. He spent much of his leisure time volunteering as an elder at Kitchener East Presbyterian Church and as a CPR instructor at the local YMCA. He will be remembered for his ministry work on mission trips and in the local church body. He spent many years leading the music ministry for VBS and the church worship team Malcolm and his wife, Barb, shared many memories while camping throughout North America. He will also be remembered for his avid skiing during the winter months.
