Today Tony and I heard the sad news of our beloved friend Jack's passing. We know he had a great struggle to bear in the past year but somehow Winnipeg will never seem the same without Jack. May he rest in peace - Posted by: Gloria Fatouros (Friend) on: Oct 13, 2013

Georgie, I am so sorry to hear of Jack's passing. I know it was a real struggle the last years and I know he is at peace now. I am sorry I am unable to attend the service as I am currently out of Canada at this time. My deepest condolences to you. - Posted by: Jo Jaeger () on: Oct 08, 2013

I had occasion to have worked with Jack, in my capacity as Corporate Security Officer with TD Bank in Winnipeg. I always found Jack to be a real professional Bank Manager, very aware & concerned for the well being of bank staff under his supervision. He will certainly be missed. - Posted by: Jerry W.Anderson (former TD Bank employee with Jack) on: Oct 07, 2013
