We last spoke to Jack on his 79th birthday, November 15th. He was so happy to receive our phone call. We enjoyed several vacations with Jack & June. We especially remember meeting them in Calgary for the Stampede Days and Lake Louise. He will be missed by all!

We have just lost a great friend. He will be missed. We will no longer hear our doorbell ring many times as Jack announces his arrival for coffee. To lose both Jack and June within about a 3 month timeframe will always leave us with a sad memory, but we will also always remember the great times we had together.
