Condolences for the family of “John (Jack) Sherman Adams”
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.
Our thoughts and prayers are with all the family at this sad time. Jack was always out on the farm in the middle of everything and enjoying every moment.
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.
Deepest sympathy to all the family in the loss of your loved one. Passing by the farm house ,milking barn ,and fields will bring back many memories of Jack.
We are sorry to hear of your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are
with you at this difficult time.

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.
Kathryn: My thoughts are with you and your family at this difficult and sad time. Tina
Petra, and family…
Please except my sincere sympathies after the passing of your grandfather. I was looking forward to meeting Jack at the retirement home. You are in my thoughts at this sad time.
Sincerely,

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.
We remember Mr Adams as a kind and helpful, hard-working neighbour with a good sense of humour. So sorry for your loss.
Uncle Jack was certainly all about family and so incredibly proud of all of you. We’ll miss him at our White Christmas reunions.
Rob, my thoughts are with you, Linda and the kids. I never met your dad but you have shared some good stories about him. Based on what I know about you I am sure he was a good man. Best wishs.
So sorry to hear of the loss of your father. But we are so glad to reaquaint ourselves with him at the clan picnic.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
