COLE, Arthur Renwick Cooper, M.D., F.R.C.P.C.
Died peacefully at home on Tuesday, March 1st, 2005 in his 85th year. Much loved husband of E. Anne Cole (née Mott) and father of David (and Linda Stirk), Peter (and Irene LeGendre), Susan (and Ralph Whitney), and James (and Donna Kry), and grandfather of Emily and Gregory; Brian, Stephen, and Jennifer; John, Anne, and Ellen; and Amelia. He is survived by his brother Thomas F. C. Cole, and his sister-in-law Jean Murray Cole. He is predeceased by his sister Pat Cole, brothers Alfred O. C. Cole and John E. C. Cole (his wife Jane), and sister-in-law Marianne Cole (née Marks). Art attended University of Toronto Schools, and then entered medical school at the University of Toronto to graduate in 1943 and join the Royal Canadian Navy. After a tour of duty overseas, he undertook postgraduate training in pediatrics, and joined the staff at the Hospital for Sick Children where he worked for more than 30 years. Art enjoyed an active private practice in North Toronto as well as a long and productive career in pediatric medicine associated with the University of Toronto. He was passionate about family and friends, but also loved music (and musicals), gardening, stamp collecting, curling, and the daily crossword puzzle. Art was never happier than when at the cottage on his beloved Stoney Lake. Special thanks to friends and neighbours for their constant support over the years. A private service will be held at Morley Bedford Funeral Home, 159 Eglinton Ave. W. (2 stoplights west of Yonge St.) on Saturday March 5th at 11 a.m. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Toronto Symphony Orchestra, the Hospital for Sick Children, or a charity of your choice.
