    Our thoughts go out to Joyce, and Family.I am sorry that I had not known of Jack’s passing until now. I used to buy lawnmower wheels from Jack when I was just a youngster in 1971. He was always helpful when we were building our wooden gocarts. As you know my brothers and I were friends of Brad, as he is still missed, and thought of at special times. Jack, and Brad will will be missed, and my brothers and I send our deepest sympathy

    To Joyce and family, Saddened to hear of your loss. I always enjoyed brief chats with Jack when I visited Queensway and appreicated his dry wit and sense of humour as well as the jokes he’d share with me. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Elly

    Dear Auntie Joyce,
    So sorry to hear about Uncle Jack’s passing. He was a really sweet man and I have many fond memories of him both as a child and visiting at Dad’s farm. I am sure he will be sorely missed by many.

    Joyce

    I remember many a good time Jack had working with the other fellows of the Shrine Provost Corps. It was a very active period for us organizing parades and raising proceeds for the Children’s Hospitals.
    It is always hard to say good-bye but I treasure deeply the good memories I have of working with Jack for a good cause.
    Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time.

    We were sorry to hear of Jack’s passing. It is hard to let go of loved ones at any time, but especially during the holidays. From what we knew of Jack from talking and visiting with him and hearing Joyce talk of him, he was a good, hard working man. I’m sure he will be missed by all.
