My sincere condolences to the Johannsen family, Jack was truly a visionary in the development industry, Barrhaven, Munster Hamlet, Amberwood Village, and Alymer Quebec were the developed through the efforts and hard work of Jack, He was able to look way past the norm in developing projects, Jack was also one heck of a gentleman, I personally work with and for Jack since the early 70's, those who live in Stittsville should remember Jack every time the see The Amberwood Golf course in Stittsville, it was something he worked so hard to complete, I was with him durning that time and he was very proud to see it's completion, farewell Jack

Aunt Barbara,

Our thoughts, prayers and deepest condolences on Jack's passing. We treasure the many positive thoughts and actions of you and Jack that touched and enriched our lives over the years. Too often we tend to get entangled in the moment and forget life’s true treasure ... family and friends. May your memories of times and love shared with Jack guide you through the difficult days ahead. Wayne and Elsie Turner
