John Wilson POOLE

It has been my good fortune to have known Jack for 50 years. From Edmonton and Calgary, to Prince George, Mackenzie and Fraser Lake, to Vancouver we remained in contact and shared many good times.

The most enduring qualities that Jack possessed were style and class in everything that he did.

My sincerest sympathies to his family.

My condolences go out to the family of Jack Poole. On the few occassions that l met him, he was just an ordinary man, never boasting of his achievements
content to visit with family and friends. He never forgot his roots.

Vancouverites have lost their patriarch of the building industry.
We will miss and cherish our many fond memories of you and Darlene. You were and continue to be an inspiration to all of us. Much love and admiration...

I loved working for Jack. He was an inspiration. A great man.

May you all find something to smile about through your tears. We are thinking of you from here in Utah. Wish we could be there with you

As a professional successful business woman I owe a lot of my right path to Jack. I worked with Daon Developments for a number of years and he taught me the structure of goals, being level headed and most of all the will to succeed.

I will celebrate his life forever and feel honored that he was a part of my lifes path.

With sincere sympathy.

It was widely know that Jack was a man of his word and that he was bound by his word and not by what might later be written.

As Daon's auditor, I met Jack one morning during the financial restructuring of Daon in the early 1980's. He seemed troubled. When I asked why, he said he had just received a written offer for one of the company's buildings. Since it was a good offer, I asked him what was the problem? He said that the night before he had accepted a lesser offer which had not yet been written but he shook hands on it. (i.e. he had given his word). Jack honoured his handshake deal and turned down the written offer. Jack was always a man of his word!

Thanks Jack. No one knows this but Jack pool was the catalyst for the biggest real estate correction in B.C.'s history . Jack sold us his Langley subdivision at 1/2 price in the early eighties and he told me this would get activity.As a new realtor i sold more homes than anybody.Thanks Jack you were right

Gwen, Ann, Jill and Judy (Hoss) - We have wonderful memories of your dad and growing up in Calgary with all of you. It's hard to lose a dad and our hearts are with you. Two years ago when our dad (Fred Neville) was in hospital, as was your dad, he phoned just as dad was being transferred to another hospital. When he found out the EMS were there with the stretcher beside dad and waiting, the two of them made a game of trying to see how long they could make the paramedics wait. By the time Dad hung up, he had tears rolling down his face from laughter - a joy to behold as dad was in his last days. Those two together - well, the stories could go forever. Love to you all and your mom from Joan and Janice.

What a wonderfull inspiring man and a life well lived his family must be very proud. Truly an inspiration to all of us. God will have a special place for him.
