Callie Amos Cooke, Sr.

Peacefully, on July 10th, Callie Amos Cooke, Sr. passed from this world.  Born in Williamsburg, VA, on August 10th, 1938, he grew up in the Shenandoah Valley town of Limeton.  After marrying his high school sweetheart, Carol E. Mauck, in 1958, the couple moved to Prince Georges County, MD.  He worked 41 years for the A&P food chain as a meat cutter and member of the old Amalgamated Local #593 and the Commercial Food Workers Local #400.
