Ern Cole
Colleagues and friends mourned the passing on November 5, 2000

in 1974 as a regional officer for the central Newfoundland area.
He moved to St. John’s in 1986 to assume the position of
associate director of the then Division of Continuing Studies;
he retired from this position in 1996. Mr. Cole was active in
the Canadian Association of University Continuing Education (CAUCE),
and served as president of the Atlantic Provinces Association
of Continuing University Education (APACUE). Sports formed a
significant part of his life from his earliest days. He was active
in softball and had an abiding love of hockey, including coaching,
as a member of the Conception Bay Cee Bees in the Old Newfoundland
Senior Hockey League, and most recently as a recreational player
in the old-timer’s Hockey Association. He was a member of
the Masonic Order and the Royal Canadian Legion, Carbonear Branch.
He leaves to mourn his wife, Audrey (recently retired from the
QE II Library); children Roger (Sandy), Joanne (Des Costello)
and Scott; brother George (Elsie). He was a devoted grandfather
