CLIFFORD CLARENCE COOK With sadness we'd like to announce our dad and grandpa passed away peacefully on Monday, January 22, 2018 at Park Manor Care Home. He was predeceased by his parents; sisters Lilian and Violet; brother Gordon; wife Elsie, and grandson Trevor. Left to cherish his memory: daughter Donna Cook; grandsons Tyler Prevost, Shane Prevost, and nieces and nephews. Dad was born in Winnipeg on July 21, 1925, to William and Laura Cook, the youngest of four children. He was raised in Winnipeg and after school tried his hand at several jobs before starting his construction company. He built may homes in Winnipeg and Stony Mountain and owned several rental properties. He was always a very fair landlord. He married Mom in 1953 and were married until her passing in 1970 from cancer. They lived in St. James and raised one daughter. Dad loved his family so much and was very proud of his grandsons. As they were growing up he could be found babysitting, going to hockey games, playing cards and when they were older there were trips to Toronto and Vegas. We are all taught carpentry and painting skills at an early age. Dad had a great sense of humour, was well liked and always willing to help people out. Dad loved the outdoors and was an avid hunter and fisherman. He enjoyed trips to Shooting Star and Las Vegas. His biggest passion for 60 years was the race track, owning several horses over the years. We'd like to thank the nurses and aides of Park Manor and Comforts of Home for their special care. Always missed. Service to follow in May.
