We are saddened to announce the death of Renderosity member PhilC (Phil Cooke). He has been a member of Renderosity since 1999 and has posted some work with Poser in his gallery. He was much loved by his large extended family who received a double blow because back in early March, Phil’s wife, Jan, passed away. We send out condolences and prayers to the entire family.

A live service was held for Phil on Monday, March 20. Here is what the family posted about Phil Cooke there:

Philip John Cooke, 68, passed away March 17, 2023 at U.K. Bluegrass Hospice Care Center in Lexington, KY. Born July 12, 1954 in the United Kingdom, Philip was the son of Raymond Cooke and Marjorie Phyllis Percival Cooke.

Phil was recently preceded in death by his loving wife Janet Lee Sykes Cooke, who passed on March 2, 2023.

A bus driver for the Anderson County Board of Education, Philip was known as a craftsman and archery coach. He was an active member of the First Baptist Church where he served as a Trustee, several times as chairperson. He also recently served on the children’s and youth new building committee, as a greeter, an usher, and was a member of the Joy Sunday school class.

We will miss you, Phil Cooke.
