With sadness we share that God has called home Michael E. Cooke, IV, 53, of Terryville. He passed away unexpectedly on Friday, April 5. He is the son of Michael and Jaqueline (Emery) Cooke, III.

Michael was a father, son, brother, uncle, cousin and great friend with a big heart. His passion was restoring antique cars with his best friend, his father.

He is predeceased by his paternal grandparents, Michael and Annette (St. Hilaire) Cooke, maternal grandparents, Leon and Wilma (Keene) Emery and an uncle Timothy Cooke.

Calling hours will be held on Wednesday, April 10, from 6 p.m. until 8 p.m. Burial will be held privately.

All TBE readers, supporters and donors                

The Bristol Edition will be limiting the number of stories non-members and free readers may access each week. This decision is based on our financial projections and, most certainly, to remind people that TBE is serious about providing accurate, timely and thorough reporting for Bristol. To do this we have devised a financial support structure that makes unlimited access extremely affordable, beginning with a $6 monthly donation.                

• Non-members will be able to access four (4) articles per week.                
• Free readers and people who have subscribed by email will be able to access four (4) articles per week.                
• Donors and financial supporters will have unlimited access as long as they log in.                

Note: Donors may have to contact TBE if they find they are being limited, since we will need to set up a membership account for you. Email editor@bristoledition.org for instructions. Sorry for any inconvenience. People with financial difficulties may write editor@bristoledition.org to be considered for free access.
