Cornelius Cooke

Cornelius "Connie" Eugene Cooke "The Winnebago Man" Connie Cooke died on Wednesday morning December 9, 2009 at St Mary's Care Center. Connie was a quiet person known to many as the man who parked his 1969 Winnebago Camper on Wingra Drive near Vilas Park Zoo in recent years. He spent the summer months in Madison and winters in Florida. His camper arriving in April was a sure sign of spring. Connie was born on October 30, 1931 and graduated from Madison Central HS in 1950. He served in the US Army, worked a carpenter, and had been retired for many years.
