COOKE, Maurice Shenton. Died of a broken heart on 23 October 2010. At peace now that he's reunited with his beloved wife June just 7 weeks after her passing. Maurice will leave a huge gap in the lives of his family - Raewyn and Garry and Graham and Liz, along with grandchildren Nicole, Blair, Logan, Lauren and great-grandchildren Nathan, Liam and Seth. We will miss you terribly. "There is nothing so strong as gentleness, and nothing so gentle as real strength". Farewell to a strong, gentle man. A service to celebrate Maurice's life will be held at the North Harbour Chapel of Dil's Funeral Services, 185 Schnapper Rock Road Albany, on Thursday 28 October at 1.00pm followed by a private cremation.
