Obituary for
Thomas Gilbert « Gil » Cook II
On September 22, 2021 Thomas Gilbert Cook “Gil” of Edmonton passed away peacefully at the age of 85.
He is survived by his children, Gilbert (son, Brandon), Christine (daughters, Megan, Paige and Jillian), Geoff and wife Shauna (daughter, Darby).
Gil was predeceased by his loving wife, Ann; and son-in-law, Vance Bieraugle.
Gil was raised in Edmonton, attended St. Johns Ravenscourt School in Winnipeg, and then returned to Edmonton for high school at Westglen and then followed by Alberta College.
Upon completion of his schooling he began working in the family business, Imperial Lumber and WW Arcade. Gil spent many years traveling Alberta to the company’s many lumber yards and mill operations before spending more time in the corporate office. Later in his career Gil followed his passion for land and development speculation which he continued until recent years.
Gil enjoyed many interests and hobbies through the years from farming, drag-racing, collecting antique cars, target shooting, and spending time with his family at Seba Beach. Gil was also fond of sail boats and proud of being a part in the creation of the Sunshine Bay Yacht Club on Lake Wabamun.
Throughout his life Gil always had canine companions, and they all kept a special place in his heart.
In keeping with Gil’s wishes a private family service will be held at a later date.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to The Edmonton Humane Society or The Mustard Seed Society in Gil’s honour.
