Peacefully at the Hull Hospital on Wednesday, June 30, 2021 at age 84. Beloved husband for 51 years of Arlene Cook, predeceased. Loved father of Cindy-Lee, Cheryl (Doug Martin) and Christal (Jeff Drost), all of Ottawa. Dear grandfather of Gabe (Alicia Martin), Jessica, Grace and Rachel Martin, and Connor, Melanie and Michael Drost, and great-grandfather of Roderick Martin. Predeceased by his brothers Edward, Rev. William and Fred Cook, and sister Rosalie Barker.
Max, born in Saint John, New Brunswick, was an avid gardener, fisherman and hunter and loved to share stories of his adventures. He spent many joyful years with Arlene and their girls camping at Lac Philippe, popping Jiffy Pop over the campfire, diving into the swimming pool with his hat on, and cutting down the family Christmas trees in the middle of the bush. He will be dearly missed by all his family. Friends are invited to express condolences on this memorial webpage.
Private service in the Central Chapel at noon on Monday, July 5, 2021. As an expression of sympathy donations to the Ottawa Heart Institute would be appreciated.
