My sincere condolences to Jack's entire family who he spoke of fondly. I started working with Jack at Haughton Graphics and we continued as colleagues at Quebecor World Richmond Hill. Jack was a kind person, very private but friendly. I am not surprised that he chose a private family memorial. I respect Jack's wishes and will remember Jack as the quiet man with his thermos of coffee in his little cubicle, working diligently until the day he left. My thoughts & prayers are with you at this very difficult time. Robbie ... you completed the last few years of Jack's life. May our fond memories of Jack be comforting. Sincerely,
