JOHN (JACK) HARVEY RODWAY 1927 - 2012 We will meet again... It is with sadness we announce the passing of Jack on Wednesday, September 5, 2012. Jack was born and raised in Winnipeg. He began working at Westeel in 1949 and shortly after met and married Rosemarie. Together they raised their family on Toronto Street in Winnipeg. He later went on to work at Misericordia Hospital in the Pathology Department, retiring in 1990. Jack really enjoyed a party and was known as the Karaoke King. He thoroughly enjoyed his 50 years camping at Selkirk Park. Jack is survived by daughter Brenda (Ron), sons Daniel, Robert (Darlene) and Terry, grandchildren, Jason and Crystal McKay, Tyler, Marissa and Curtis Rodway, Lisa Rodway, Neil, Cathy and Jonathon Rodway. He will also be missed by half-sisters, Gail and Helen of Toronto. Predeceased by his wife Rosemarie, identical twin brother Douglas, brother Huebert, and his sister Joyce. Jack will always be remembered as a happy, outgoing, social person who was always ready to lend a helping hand. The family wishes to thank the friends Dad made at Lion's Manor, especially the group at Harvey Hall. Friends and family are invited to celebrate his life on Thursday, September 13, 2012 at 7:00 p.m. at Chapel Lawn, 4000 Portage Avenue. Viewing will take place half hour prior to the service.

Condolences & Memories (3 entries)

  • Love you always! - Posted by: Brenda McKay (daughter) on: Jan 22, 2017

  • I have not met Jack too many times since I have lived in Alberta for many years. However, the last time that I saw him was in August 2011 at a small dinner-party in Winnipeg. He was such a nice and social person, smiling all the time. I only found out at that time that he was quite the singer and loved socializing. It is a great loss to lose someone who seemed so kind, with a gentle inviting warmth around him. He looked like he could have been quite a 'mischevious' person too - a lot of fun to be around. I am SO sorry for his loss and my sympathy goes to all the family and extended family. - Posted by: Denise Ott (Sister to his daugher-in-law Darlene Ott) on: Sep 10, 2012
