We would like to thank Kenneth "Squeaky" Mancheese, Dad's nephew for being there for him; also to the Health Sciences Centre staff on GH4 for making him feel comfortable.

You don’t know how much I miss you, these last few months I’ve been thinking about you every day. When ever I hear fiddling music, ur favourite foods/ dessert. I still have in my phone your grocery list and how much you loved your cinnamon buns. You are the best. Thank you for being my guardian angel when I was sick, I remember you looking at me as I was holding your hand the words you said to me “don’t worry my girl I will look after you” you are my guardian angel and I love you for that. Love and miss you always… ❤️ xoxo your dawnis Debbie - Posted by: Debbie Cook (Daughter) on: Mar 08, 2025

Dad this year you'd have been 91. I think of you and wish I could have flown you into Minneapolis for a visit, but you told me "no" you couldn't come because you were too sick to fly. You always did your best, to not burden me with your illness, But, you know I would have come anytime you needed me. I miss you and think of you often. You are never forgotten. Love you always.

Happy 88th Birthday Dad. I am 59 today. Gowing up we never talked much, but words were bever necessary as our love for each other was always spiritual. Love and miss you Dad. - Posted by: DeAnna Kern (daughter) on: Dec 03, 2021

Today I was sitting here this evening listening to this one chatroom that played all the old fashion music that I grew up listening. It got me thinking of you and remembering your fantastic violin playing. You were so talented, to which you passed this on to both your sons. Sadly to say none of your daughters' inherited that talent. LOL Love you Dad, Miss Mom too. Hope you are all in heaven now living happily ever after. - Posted by: DeAnna (daughter) on: Apr 11, 2020

Dad it is your daughter Jennifer Cook's 48th birthday today. She is 48 years now. I got to thinking about you today and family. You lived a long life sorry that in the end you had to suffer with COPD. I always admired how you were able to quit cold turkey those bad habits such as alcohol and cigarettes, it is because of this that we were all able to spend those many years before you left us. I miss you, we shared our birthdays together, now I have to kind of share it with my granddaughter Annabella even if we are only a day apart. Hers is in Dec 4th. - Posted by: Deanna Kern (daughter) on: Jan 18, 2020

Dad, It's been a few years now that you left us. I remember the day you asked Debbie to call me right back when I called to check up on you. You wanted me to make sure our brother Albert got your mobility scooter, well he did get it and now it is with your daughter Debbie now. I know you wanted to go and when you said "my girl, I'm leaving you today" I knew you made that decision to leave us. I know how hard it was for you to breathe, and I am glad that when you left us that day you were not alone. Sorry I could not be there to hold your hand when you left, but you had your other daughters there and nephew. I do miss you too, but I know you are not suffering now. - Posted by: DeAnna (daughter) on: Oct 29, 2018

All I can say is that the time we spent together I miss, and still find myself looking at your apartment, no one will ever know about the smallest of conversations we've had. But I do know, your at peace, I'm still in the grieving process of this, knowing you placed your life in my hands to the end, I never knew I had that kind of strength to follow through in your last wishes, and that look you gave me...Dad it's hard, and I miss you - Posted by: Annette (daughter) on: May 09, 2014
