John Pell Obituary
Jack graduated Ottawa Tech in 1949 and found work at E.B. Eddy Co. He married Helen in 1955, started a family soon after, and completed his BCom (Economics and Accounting) in 1965 by attending evening classes at Carleton University. After 2 yrs as Chief Accountant with Boeing of Canada, Arnprior, he moved the family back to Ottawa and joined Statistics Canada as a Subject Matter Assistant. He remained with Stats Can for 30 years, retiring in 1996, as the Director of Operations and Integration Division. Jack was proud to be Stats Canada's 1985 Employee of the Year.
Jack was an active member of the Freemasons and Shriners. He made innumerable trips to Boston during his 9 yr tenure as a member of the Board of Governors of the Shriners Boston Burns Hospital.
A private family service will be held at a later date at his much loved summer cottage. Jack can be remembered via donations to the Shriners Hospitals for Children - Canadian Unit (c/o Barbara Seabright, Shriners Hospitals for Children - Canadian Unit, 2140 Walkley Road, Ottawa, ON., K1G 3V3).

Remembering night skiing at Camp Fortune with Jack, Jennifer and David (although I was always a little afraid of Jack!) and enjoying double-buttered cinnamon toast in the Pell kitchen. My sincerest condolences to the entire Pell family at this time of loss. Alison Arnot, neighbour and classmate/friend of Jennifer.

Dear Helen and family, it was with sad hearts we learned of Jack's passing. Although we were cousins, born just eight months apart, our times together grew more infrequent over the years but the connections were never broken. Michelle and I often shared stories and memories with Helen and Jack in the recent past and will always hold Jack's memory close to us. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.

I wish to extend my sincere condolences to Helen, David, Nancy, Jennifer and Wendy. Jack earned himself a great reputation in the Masonic Fraternity and has been the mentor for many to follow. He will be sorely missed but fondly remembered.
I also had the great pleasure to have worked with him from the time he joined Statistics Canada until his retirement. He demonstrated that dedication and hard work paid rewards, an example that many of us followed. He was respected at all levels.
The Pell name will be revered for years to come and you can all take comfort in knowing that Jack has completed this stage in life as a loved and respected individual
