Personal Life
Accepting a land grant from the federal government, Cook settled in Saskatchewan following the First World War, taking a half section of land adjacent to a similar holding of his brother Bun's. He established his farm near Lac Vert, hunted and played baseball during hockey off-seasons. He later returned to Kingston, Ontario, where he continued to farm and was nearly killed when one of his bulls gored him. Cook was married and had three children. He died of cancer in Kingston on May 6, 1986.
