Ralph Oliver Cook

February 24, 1947 - May 24, 2023

The tears in our eyes we can wipe away, the ache in our hearts will always stay with the passing of Ralph Oliver Cook on May 24, 2023, with his family forming a circle of love by his side at Lisaard House.

So dearly loved by his wife Vicki (Needham) of 49 years. He will forever remain in the heart of his son Andrew (Cristina). Loving brother to Diane Gray (Gib), Alice Montgomery (John), Tom Cook (Trish), and brother-in-law Rodger Needham also his mother-in-law Jean Needham. Predeceased parents Irene and Fred Cook and father-in-law Vic Needham.  A special uncle to his nieces and nephews. So loved by his cousins and friends.

Ralph was passionate about formula one car racing, Dallas Cowboys, Blue Jays, golf (GDI), traveling and growing his hot pepper plants.

During Ralph’s 76 years there were many hard fought against-all-odds health issues, triple-bi-pass, dialysis and the gift of life a liver transplant in 2013 that gave us many additional years together, for which there are no words for. We thank all the medical personnel over the years that have cared for Ralph.

Cremation has taken place and a celebration of life at a later date and location to be determined. Donations to Lisaard House in Cambridge in Ralph’s memory would be appreciated by the family. Messages and condolences may be left at www.tricitycremations.com.
