Jack was born on July 9, 1951 in Winnipeg, Manitoba. He grew up in the Weston/Brooklands area of the city and lived his entire adult life in Brooklands. Jack worked in the Flooring Industry his entire career. His specialty was in sales and management. He had a strong work ethic and was well respected by his customers and colleagues. Some of his greatest pleasures included travel, fishing, golfing, playing cards, watching old western movies, and visiting his children and grandchildren in Alberta and British Columbia. Jack also took great pride in gardening and every summer many family members, friends and neighbours enjoyed the fresh vegetables that he shared with them from his garden. Jack also loved running his seasonal business of peddling topsoil and gravel, his abilities were natural when it came to sales and customer service. W. Bro.

The family would like to express their gratitude and respect to the health care professionals at CancerCare Manitoba and the St. Boniface Palliative Care Department.

I just found out this tragic loss today, May 2, and I am shocked and saddened. I had worked with Jack (he was my boss) in the 1980's, at Buckwold Western, flooring wholesaler, only for about a year, but I had total respect for him then and right up to his last day. It was Jack who got me the National Carpet sales agent's job for Saskatchewan, which I had for a number of years, Jack did Manitoba/NW Ontario at the time, then in the last few years National was sold, but it was great to be back working along side Jack. A remarkable and well respected sales manager, sales representative and overall great guy. I will miss you Jack. To all your family, especially wife Peggy, who I met on some occasions, picking up carpet samples at the hair salon, my deepest sympathy. He left us way too young, but we remember you Jack, for all the good things you stood for and did. - Posted by: Barry Smitke (friend) on: May 02, 2013

I will miss you Jack may you rest in peace! - Posted by: Hugh Doherty (customer A&R Carpet Barn) on: Apr 11, 2013
