I´ve been away from home for many many years, wasn´t aware of Mr. Prindle´s passing. Played high school hockey with his son Todd at Wayne high school, played pick up hockey with Mr. Prindle out at McMillan ice Arena, the man was amazing in net. May may he rest in peace.

All the Prindles were / are good people. I have good memories of all of them. From the parents, John and Helen, to the boys Ralph, Jim, Steve, and of course Jack. They had one daughter, Dianne, who I didn't really know very well, but I'm sure she was just as nice with a great sense of humor as all the boys. Those memories will be with me forever! -Joe R

My prayers are with the Prindle Family. I grew up on Dewald with Jack. He was one of the funniest people I have ever known. When I would see him he would always make me laugh.
So wonderful to know that Jack had turned his life over to His Saviour, Jesus. You can know he is at peace.
God bless and strengthen you in this time of grief. Elaine Rietdorf Adams

What I knew of Jack was that infamous Prindle Humor that everyone in the Prindle Family had from their parents all the way down to Ralph. Our thoughts go out to the entire Prindle Family who I knew for over 55 years...a fellow DeWald Dude. -Joe, Liberty, and Kali Rietdorf.
