It is
with profound and deep sadness the family of Edward Neil
Cook announce his passing on September 13, 2023, in
Salmon Arm, BC, at the age of 86. Dad was born in Mountview, NB to the
late Earl and Nita (Bowser) Cook on January 9th, 1937.
Dad
worked in the mines in northern Manitoba when he was very young, then
went on to become a mechanic, and finally a teacher of mechanics at
Tantramar Regional High School. He
always loved working with his students and fought to keep the trades a
viable option for study in the school system.
With
the help of fellow teacher and friend Rod Smith they built a cottage
on PEI which family and many, many friends enjoyed for several years.
After the sale of that, he and Mum began what would become a lifelong
passion for travelling with their RV throughout North America. Once
retired, he and Mum moved to Cherryville, BC, while spending winters
in the south in Arizona and California. They moved to Salmon Arm once
they stopped travelling south where they enjoyed several years before
Mum’s passing.
Dad
loved animals but most especially cats, and the one he left behind has
gone to live with his grandson and granddaughter-in-law in Victoria
(BC).
He was an avid fisherman and hunter and we often joked
that he should have been a pioneer. We
will most especially miss his dry wit and sharp sense of
humour.
Edward was predeceased by his wife Viola in 2021 and
his son Derek in 2015.
He is
survived by his daughter Janet (Dave), Comox, BC, his son Roger
(Sherri) Courtenay, BC; his grandsons Adam (Kayli), Noah, and his
granddaughters Sophie (River), and
Bronwen.
If so
desired donations to charities of choice or the SPCA in Dad’s
memory
would be most appreciated.
