    I will always remember Uncle Jack – #1 – as a farmer. In later years,
    chatting at family reunions, I recall his storytelling and dry sense of humour! Our heartfelt condolences, from both Vlad and I, to all my cousins.

    He will be missed; coming by the farm on his skit steer. His sharp mind and sense of humor. He was a great story teller.
    ” You have to leave things in a better shape as they were, when you got them” . A remark made by Jack that I never will forget. Well Jack, you have made the world a better place for sure.

  12. Jane Urbshott and Mary Morkin

    We are sorry to hear of your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are
    with you at this difficult time.

    Our sympathy to you at this sad time. Jack will be greatly missed on the 13 th Concession and what an accomplishment to be able to farm into his 90’s.

    I will never forget the summers spent with Jack & Doug on the farm. Even when mobility was limited he was out in the field bailing, cutting hay and even scraping the barn. He will be missed.

  17. John & Mary Walls and Family

    Jack was a man of great integrity and a farmer at heart.
    Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
