He was actively involved in St. Peter's Church in Winnipeg and continued his involvement at St. Paul's Anglican Church upon his move to Edmonton in 1970 to work for the Edmonton Telephones. Many memories were forged and friends made at West Hawk Lake where the family spent weekends and summers. Jack loved to fish, build things and play with his power tools. He continued this tradition when they moved to Edmonton where shortly thereafter they acquired land up at Fort Assinaboine, Alberta. It was here, in 1986, they built Angel's Valley Christian Retreat Centre where they lived and until their move to Victoria in 2002. He loved his Lord with passion and served Him until the end of his life. Family and friends will celebrate his life on Thursday evening at 7:00 p.m. at the Trinity Christian Centre located at the Garth Homer Centre located at 813 Darwin Avenue.
