Eric Cook Obituary
P. Eng., Ret. Major, Royal Canadian Air Force
Passed away peacefully on March 25, 2014, at the age of 85. Predeceased by his loving wife, Elva (2011). Devoted father to Marjorie Cook. Predeceased by his brother, Thomas Cook. Lovingly remembered by his cousins and many nieces and nephews. Eric will be missed by all his friends at the Hylands Golf Club.

He received his Mechanical Engineering degree and became an Officer with the MSE trade. After his successful military career, he continued in engineering with Hovey and Associates and then opened Iso-Vibe Inc., making customized golf clubs using his Swing Sync system.
