We are so very sorry to hear about Jack's passing. We only had the pleasure of meeting him a few times, but he was a very sweet man. We will miss seeing him when we are gardening or out in the backyard.

I will miss having coffee breaks with Jack. We always had a laugh discussing the crazy events of the world. He spoke honestly with fairness and disliked injustice and bad politics. He enjoyed talking about the days of labouring on the family farm, old tractors, cows, delivering milk as a kid during the war blackouts, car repairs, big rig adventures, pilot's licence, metal detecting and troubles with new technology. He liked to write, tell humorous stories and never sought the spotlight.
He always there to help his family and friends.
The world became a better place with a good kind man like Jack. He will be missed but not forgotten.
