Michael Mccool

McCool, Michael Joseph
December 13, 1944- November 19, 2020

It is with heavy hearts that we mourn the passing of Michael who passed away peacefully the morning of Nov. 19th 2020, at the Queensway Carleton Hospital, after a battle from complications due to pneumonia.

He was quiet, unassuming and known to all as a truly “good man”, with a driving work ethic, intense loyalty and deep love for his family and friends.

Michael spent the majority of his life working in the insurance industry, many of those years spent in leadership positions, until his retirement as Regional Manager of Eastern Ontario for Gore Mutual Insurance.  In his last years Michael took on the project of rejuvenating a derelict cottage on the Mississippi River to new glory. An avid reader, and savvy financial planner he could be found whiling away the hours with a good book, complicated puzzle or an intense crossword. During his final years he could always be found not far from his furry companion Casper.

Michael was a loving husband to Heather (nee Burns), always the loving and supportive father to Jennifer and Sean (Sheri). Adoring grandfather of Emma and Isabelle Delorey, and Molly and Regan McCool and father in law to Michael Delorey.  He will be deeply missed by his brother Tom (Marjie) and sister Wilma Salzman, and countless other relatives and friends. Predeceased by his sister Myra Lavoie.

Many thanks to the staff at the Queensway Carleton Hospital and Dr’s Remfry and Neidert.

A celebration of life will be held at a later date. Donations may be made to the Canadian Cancer Society . Tributes, condolences and donations may be made at www.tubmanfuneralhomes.com
