Robert John "Bobby" Cooke (29 December 1940 - circa 1980s) was a Canadian man.

He was born to Ernie Cooke and his wife on 29 December 1940.

Bobby Cooke was in the same Grade 1 class as Bill Currie in Transcona, Manitoba, in about 1946.

It became clear that Bob had a mental disability (a birth injury I believe) around the time he was in Grade 1, and he did not go past primary school. He lived with his parents into adulthood.

Death

In the 1980s, when he was in his forties he was attacked by some street hooligans and killed.
