I missed him a lot he also loved art just like me

Darren and I were privileged to be Jack and Elaine's extra kids.  We both loved him very much and will miss his quick wit and kind heart.  Sending our sincerest condolences and sympathies to Elaine, Rob and Leanne.

Marion and I were privileged to have been friends of Jack  and Elaine at 576 St Anne's Rd.Jack was so meticulous even in little things,and always was the last man out,after a party,just in case there was something to do. Thanks for the memories,and condolences to you,Elaine,Rob and Leanne.

So sorry to hear of Jack's passing. He was always so much fun to be with, particularly on the golf course & in the club house. He was a mainstay with the H&S group for so many years. His very clever "'poetry'" at our group windups was classic, to the extent that many of us would ask him to send us a copy so that we could chuckle again! He did live a very full life & we will really miss him. My heart goes out to Elaine, Rob & Leanne - God Bless!

I was so sorry to hear of Jack’s passing.—-

He has been a good friend, dating way back to the “good old Selkirk days”

My heartfelt sympathy to you, Elaine and your family

Sorry for your loss Elaine and family! Jack was a good friend back in good old Selkirk days!

Rest In Peace Jack.

Dear Elaine, Rob and Leanne and families, Thinking of you and sending sincere condolences.

Kerry and I have known Jack and Elaine since early 70’s. We have many great memories together. Of all his many attributes none exceed his intellect and humour. It made it better for everyone. A group of guys started a golf group around 1988 and Jack joined shortly after. It is still going strong. His annual ode at the group’s end of season dinner is the foundation it stands on today. 

 People like Jack are rare. We feel very lucky to have an opportunity to spend a lot of time together. 

Elaine, Rob and Leanne, our very best wishes.

I agree wholeheartedly with Rick Jones‘ heartfelt reminisces of Jack.  He was an all round good man whose friendship & company I cherished.  That he was talented in many different areas is obvious to all who knew him.  His devotion to golf & the Hackers & Slashers at Southwood GC is well known to all members of that group - especially his year end statistics ($ won/lost, lowest scores etc.) & of course his “poetry”.  Elaine was a wonderful wife to Jack & she kept him on the right path very competently.  I hope she can cope with her loss without too much difficulty.

What a wonderful, caring, sincere and inspiring man. So rare it seems these days. 

Jack's always humorous and inciteful limericks to our season ending H&S gatherings are now legendary. It was so nice and inspirational to witness Jack continue to enjoy golf and the ensuing comraderie of a post game critique well into his 80's. 

I will miss you Jack but certainly not forget you.
