Condolence: It was truly an honour to have known Jack (and Anne!) as a volunteer and volunteer coordinator for St. John Ambulance I often found myself amazed by the stories and advice that Jack gave me. He was such a committed man who always had the time you needed. My deepest condolences!

Condolence: My condolences to Jack's family. I knew Jack from Mended Hearts and Cardiac Rehab at Canada Games Complex.
Such a nice man. His attendance at our events and classes, and coffee at A&W, were always looked forward to.
Personally, I learnt to look at age in a very different manner because Jack was unique, it gave "aging" new meaning for me

Condolence: To jack's family, I wish to express my sincere condolences. When I arrived in Thunder Bay in 1977, Jack was very quick to include me in all of his many dealings and I learnt a lot from him. The social work community has lost a giant and I doubt if he will ever be replaced. My deepest condolences to Murray and Barb. My thoughts and prayers are offered at this time of loss.

Condolence From: Tim and Julia Ellard
Condolence: Julia and I received news of Jack's passing with great sadness. Jack and his lovely wife Ann could not have been more welcoming,helpful,warm and kind to us when we arrived in Thunder Bay back in 1980. It was a privilege to have worked for Jack. He was quite a guy in so many truly good ways, that will be familiar to all those who knew and treasured him.
We will keep you in our prayers and rest assured that we will toast and honour Jack's memory with a "wee dram".
