Obituary: glow

I'd like the memory of me
to be a happy one.
I'd like to leave an afterglow
of smiles when life is done.
I'd like to leave an echo
whispering softly down the ways,
Of happy times and laughing times
and bright and sunny days.
I'd like the tears of those who grieve,
to dry before the sun
of happy memories
that I leave when life is done.

Obituary: David E. Cooke passed away 17, 2014 after an extended illness. A graduate of Beaverton High School and University of Oregon, his work as a CPA took him around the world on assignments in Germany, Japan, and Sudan. In later years, he worked as a Contract CFO for various businesses in the Portland-Vancouver area.

Dave’s love of travel took him to 92 countries, and he returned many times to Paris, his favorite city. Nieces and nephews always look forward to his postcards from exotic locations. One of his more challenging trips was to Antarctica in 2008, shortly after he was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. His comment about that trip: “What you don’t experience with pictures of penguin colonies are the smells and the sounds.”

Dave was a die-hard Duck’s fan, especially football and track. Just a few days before his death, he cheered on the team at the home of his good friends, Ross and Juanita. On the calendar in his room, he made a note on 11, “U of O wins.”

Family was very important to Dave, and he faithfully attended weddings, concerts, graduations, track meets and other important events involving several generations. The littlest ones always responded to him, running up for a hug and kiss on the cheek. Just weeks before his death, he made the tiring trip to St. Helens for a niece Katie’s wedding, and particularly enjoyed eating “banned” foods at the reception. For years, he kept the younger generation supplied with subscriptions of magazines such as Ranger Rick and National Geographic Kids.

Dave enjoyed outdoor sports, particularly hiking, running, mountain climbing and kayaking. His first mountain experience was in his late teens when he and Roger climbed Mt. Hood together. Not heeding the warnings of the guides, they didn’t apply zinc oxide to their faces at the beginning of the ascent. When the sun rose and they felt the heat of the reflection off the snow, the ointment was frozen in the tubes. returned home with blistered sunburns on their faces. Another mountain climb had an unhappy ending when Dave succumbed to altitude sickness before he reached the top of Mt. Kilimanjaro in Kenya.

Friends Ross Hall and Stan Hatch accompanied him on many river runs, and he enjoyed kayaking at the wildlife refuge on Sauvie Island. One of his more harrowing trips was a solo visit to Belize. He rented a sea kayak and headed out for an uninhabited island. a day or so of enjoying the clear blue waters off the island, he headed back to the mainland. Unfortunately a storm came up, and with strong headwinds to fight, he came very close to not making it back to shore.

The walls of Dave’s home were lined with literally thousands of books. Mysteries were his special interest, and he spent years accumulating a collection of winners of the three main mystery award categories: Edgar, Agatha and Crime Writers of America. For years he carried a list in his wallet of books he needed to complete his collection, and haunted used bookstores, library book sales, and the internet to find them. In his library those books were marked with special stickers noting the year of their award. Travel books also occupied a significant place in his library, as he brought beautiful coffee-table books home from every trip.

Dave was considered the “cool uncle” of the family. In the 70s and 80s, his flamboyant wardrobe, including brightly colored ties made by his sister Emily, often raised eyebrows. He enjoyed owning head-turning cars, beginning with a classic black Jaguar sedan in the late 60s. A maroon XKE convertible and a bright yellow De Tomaso Pantera were his favorites.

Preceding him in death were his parents, Ernest & Laura Cooke, his brothers, John and Roger Cooke, his sister Emily Mueller, and his niece Faye Hill Bryant. He is survived by his sisters, Priscilla Hill and Carolyn Wade, and in-laws Fran Cooke, Paul Mueller, Lauren Hill, Edna Cooke and Larry Wade, eighteen nieces and nephews, nearly fifty great-nieces and nephews, and a growing number of great-greats.

We’ll miss you, Dave!
