Peter James CROOK

1962 - 2021

PETER JAMES CROOK December 17, 1962 - December 3, 2021 It is with great sadness that we announce the sudden passing of our son and brother, Peter. Peter was an outgoing and popular guy who cared deeply for his family and his wide circle of friends, especially his core group of lifetime buddies. He was the loving son of Maxine and Farrell, brother of Kathleen (James Penturn) and Carolyn (Jamie Smith), and uncle to Rebecca, Sarah, and Jessica. He had a special soft spot for Auntie Donna, who adored him in return. He will be missed by all of us. If there was one thing that defined Peter, it was his loyalty to his family, friends and sports teams. He doted on his mother, helping care for her and maintain her home. He stood by his friends through thick and thin, and was always ready to lend a hand whenever needed. Peter loved his sports, playing hockey, disc/frisbee golf, and many other sports. The consummate sports fan, Peter followed his favorite team, the Buffalo Bills, faithfully (and frustratingly), for decades, never missing a game! He loved to cook, making a career of it and ultimately running his own catering business. His skills as a chef made him indispensable at family gatherings and the centre of attraction at picnics and parties, and especially at the Buffalo Bills tailgate parties that he so loved. Peter also had a quick wit, a good sense of humour, and always had stories, painful puns, and funny expressions to share. The family will be holding a private cremation, to be followed by a Memorial Service in February 2022, with details on the date and location to follow. We hope to see many of you there to hear your memories and stories of Peter. Should you wish, donations may be made to the charity of your choice.
