Obituary for James Harvey Cook

James Harvey   Cook
Harvey was born on August 9, 1922 in the Golden Plain District North of Langbank. He was the son of Reg and Mabel Cook, the eldest of four siblings. He grew up there and in 1942 joined the R.C.A.F. as an aircraft frame mechanic in Victoria, B.C. On his discharge, at the end of the war, he married Hattie Cross on November 14, 1945. The first year was spent farming with horses in the Golden Plain area. In the spring of 1947 they moved south of Windthorst which was their home for two and half years. In 1949 they moved back to the Golden Plain District where they farmed until 1987. The farm was an integral part of his life and even when living in town he enjoyed coming out to the farm to make sure the boys were doing it right. He drove the combine in the fall of 2014 and wanted to make sure he took off at least a hopper full of grain.

Harvey had many interests. He helped with the Whitewood Orioles Hockey Team and was also a frequent spectator of baseball games in town. He enjoyed golfing and curling and played his last curling game about 3 weeks ago. Harvey enjoyed kids of all ages and would help build Cub cars and Scout semi’s and his cars were always the fastest on race day. Harvey was involved in both Kennedy and Whitewood Legion. He enjoyed his woodworking and his last project was a violin that he enjoyed playing downstairs. Harvey and Hattie spent about 19 winters in Texas enjoying the sun and spending time with friends.



Harvey is survived by Hattie, his wife of 69 years, his sons Roger (Darlene), Brian (Kim), and Orville. His grandchildren and great-grandchildren are as follows:

Neill (Shauna) Cook – Reece and Emily
Daniel (Selena) Cook – Addison and baby to be born in May
Raylene Cook

Jeff (Rhonda) Cook – Samantha, Zoey and Jake
Jason (Shenelle) Cook – Brady, Shayda, Jaxon and Creston
Jasmine Cook

Cory (Darla) Cook – Mitchel and Brianna
Clayton (Mona) Cook – Zach, Austin, and Samantha, Tammy (Chris) Picard – Nicholas, Abagail, Elizabeth, and William

Harvey is survived by his sister Ellen (Bill) Gair, and Louis (Henry) Klippenstein. He was predeceased by his brother, Arthur, in 1994.

Harvey will be remembered for living life to the fullest, his wry sense of humor, for his love towards his family, for his quiet faith and for his personal integrity. He will be greatly missed.
