He was a life member of Lions International, Past President of St. James Lions Club and a Melvin Jones recipient. Always a sports fan, he enjoyed curling, golfing, and baseball.

Jack & Georgie were great neighbors on Barker Blvd for many years. I would often be on the front lawn watering flowers and Jack's big smile would draw me across the street for a chat. He always had time to ask how you were, tell a story, and make your day a bit brighter. We miss them on our street and join all friends & acquaintances in extending our condolences. - Posted by: Linda & Robert Ferens (neighbor) on: Oct 08, 2013

Like Jimmy, I regarded Jack as a kind, gentle, sweet man with a wicked sense of humour. He always seemed to be smiling and I know he bore his illness bravely and did not complain. He will be missed so very much. Georgina, our deep and sincere sympathy. - Posted by: Shirley Allan (sister-in-law) on: Oct 08, 2013
