So saddened by the news of Jack's passing.

It would take a a very large book to share how many fond memories I was lucky enough to experience with Jack whether it was relentlessy chasing biz at Insco over many years , or blowing off our fair share of steam together after the work was done .

Jack is, and will always be, deserving of legendary status in the history books of Insco, but also outside of work as well.,

He lived life to its fullest and made the world around him a better place.

Well done my friend . You will be missed for certain , but never forgotten.

With Deepest of Sympathies to Family and Friends ,

I met Jack through tennis. I always enjoyed playing with him or simply on the same night because I knew we would head upstairs later and exchange jokes we recently heard.
Jack loved a good joke. His smile and laughter will greatly be missed.
Fondly,
Kathy Linton

Jack became a friend when we met 12 or so years ago. With his outgoing personality and wit he fit in perfectly with our tight-knit group, he was loved by all and will be missed.

Fond memories of when my dad (Jim Donnelly, Catherine's first cousin) would pile my cousins Ellen , Ted, Tom, and me into the car to go to the Auditorium to watch Jack play hockey for LaSalle. When in later years the cousins would gather for a monthly dinner we enjoyed his company.

Love, Mary Lou (Donnelly) and Maurice Trottier
