Glendon Cyril Cook
1951-2021
Glendon Cyril Cook, 70, of Forest Dale
Home and formerly of Hillsborough passed away peacefully on July 26th,
2021 at the nursing home.
Glendon was born in Oshawa, Ontario on
March 28, 1951 the son of the late Cyril and Shirley (Simpson)
Cook.
Glendon was a hard worker and worked
as a carman for CN and in the Engineering Office. After CN, he went to
work for Proceco in Montreal for 15 years. Later he moved to
Hillsborough to be close to his family and started work at the
Hillsborough Irving where he was known to many and would always greet
everyone with a warm welcome and a great smile. He had a passion for
reading and this gave him knowledge about many things, he was a great
man to play Trivial Pursuit as he knew most of the answers. He started
travelling and has travelled to Africa, Korea, Poland, Hawaii and all
over the world. His thought was , you will never understand the true
meaning of your life, until you travel and experience how others are
living theirs. He was a member of the Hillsborough United Church and
attended faithfully when he was able and appreciated all the kindness
he was shown there. Glendon also had a passion for photography and
took many pictures. He was very close to his mother and sisters and
cherished the time he got to spend with them and especially the past
years of his mother’s life. He was also an awesome uncle. He
reconnected with Shelby the love of his life and the two depended on
each other and he was so grateful for the wonderful care she gave him,
he felt so fortunate to have her back in his life. They enjoyed
travelling together and also liked the quirky things in life like
their love of the Muppets. » Life is not just the passing of
time. Life is the collection of experiences and their intensity. »
His legacy will live on forever in our hearts.
He will be deeply missed by his
sister, Heather Crossman of Hillsborough; nieces, Tina-Marie (Chris),
Tanya, Sharon (Ed), Rhonda (Duane), Lisa (Paul) and nephew, David
(Ami). He will also be missed by special friend Shelby; all his
extended family and friends.
Besides his parents he was predeceased
by a sister, Darlene Crew; brother-in-law, Larry
Crossman.
Honouring Glendon’s own wishes there
will be no visitation. A Memorial Service and Celebration of his life
will be held at the Albert County Funeral Home on Friday, July 30th,
2021 at 2:00pm with Pastor Leonard Geldart
