Cook
Mar 19, 1937 — Nov 10, 2020
Racine – Donald B. Cook, age 83, passed away at the Milwaukee VA Community Living Center on November 11, 2020. He was born on March 19, 1937 to parents Leroy and Belma (nee. Magnus) Cook. Donald was a proud veteran of the United States Army and Air Force Reserves, serving as a medic in the Army. Following his military service, he operated Creative Rehab with his son for 7 years, installing elevators and lifts for handicapped people.
He was very handy and could fix anything. Donald even built the first family home. He was a huge Packers fan and a season ticket holder for many years. His greatest joy though was spending time with his grandchildren. Donald will be dearly missed.
