Allan COOK

Canterbury

Posted 1 August 2026

Allan's family wish to thank everyone who supported them through Allan's dementia journey and more recently following his passing, on July 7. To those who attended Allan's service please know that he would have been humbled knowing how many came to support his family and bid him farewell. Helen and family would like to acknowledge the wonderful staff at Arvida Ilam Lifecare where Allan spent the last 12 months of his life. To the staff in the Cressy Memory Care Wing, your respectful and patient care of Allan has been much appreciated. You are special people doing amazing work. Thank you.
