Jack N. STRINGER

STRINGER, Jack N.
July 8, 1923 – February 11, 2016
It is with great sadness and a heavy heart that I announce the passing of my beloved husband, Jack Stringer. Jack fought a long battle with many health issues but died peacefully in his sleep, at home, looking out at the river. He was predeceased by his father George, mother Edith, brother Donald and sisters Irene and Mabel and survived by Brenda, his loving wife of more than 40 years, his sister Patricia Bell, stepdaughter Yvonne, step-granddaughters Megan (Zan) and Tristin, great-grandson Jarome, and brother-in-law Richard (Marilyn). He will be fondly remembered and missed by many loving nieces, nephews, great-nieces and great-nephews as well as many close friends. Jack was born in Winnipeg Manitoba and served with the Canadian Army during WWII. Shortly after the end of the war he moved to Vancouver where he worked as a salesman with Mac & Mac/Acklands. In the early 1970's he moved on to become a purchasing agent for Rader Canada. He took great joy in music, especially jazz and classical, reading (including the novels of W.P. Kinsella and P.D. James), baseball, golf and travelling. He will be remembered for his quiet strength, wonderful sense of humor and love of life. Very special thanks to Dr. Jack Kliman and all his colleagues; the doctors and nurses at Richmond General Hospital; the caring staff at B. C. Ambulance and Richmond Fire Fighters members who always attended him with care and respect. A celebration of his life will follow at a later date.
