It is with a heavy heart that we announce the peaceful passing of Jack Pritchard in his 90th year with his wife and children by his side. Beloved husband of 70 years to his beautiful wife, Gladys, married December 3, 1952. A fun filled father to Paul (Sharon), Lorna Tomczyk (John) and Michael. Predeceased by son Lawrence (1961 - 1999) and daughter-in-Law Judith (1955-2016). And by his sisters and brothers-in-law, Pearl Florence Pritchard (age 6 mths), Grace Kohan (John), Dorothy Abbott (Jack), Pearl May Corrigan (Vince), Jean Nichols (Thomas) and brothers Joseph and James.

Thirty-four great grandchildren and great-great grandchildren. Many nieces, nephews, greats and great-greats. Also, by many, many friends. Jack was a proud Bell Canada Employee for 32 years. Hired as a Lineman and retired as a Splicer. He prided himself on safe practice on and off work. He had a wonderful sense of humour which he used up to the final days. Jack enjoyed many years of camping, fishing, bowling, dancing, and caring for others in their time of need. Jack also loved spoiling his wife especially at Christmas. Jack will be missed by all as we remember the good old days of fun and laughter. Many thanks to the HCCSS, Bayshore Co-coordinators, PSW's, The Paramedics Team (3PC) and especially to the Palliative Care Team which included Nurses Sandi, Marian, and Mark and all who allowed Jack to be at home with dignity. Cremation has taken place.
