After a brief illness, in his 87th year, Jack passed away on February 19, 2002 with the love and support of his family surrounding him. Jack leaves behind his beloved wife Dorothy (nee Patterson), his dear brother Wesley (Joan), his much-loved sons Jack (Elvie), Lance (Joan) and Donald (Nancy). Jack's legacy includes his treasured grandchildren Terry (Tim), Jeff (Jocelyn), Richard and Leslie, his great-grandchildren Jennifer (Andrew), Jeffrey, Edward and Jack, and his great-great grandson Callum. He will be sadly missed by special family members Donna, Susan, Sandra, Ron, Jamie, Sophie and Ali. Jack's career spanned over five decades and included dedication to his country through both military and Public Service. His passion for living was illustrated through his love of family, music, travel, the cultural arts and a beautiful sense of humour. His personal cure for boredom was curiosity, and this philosophy guided his life. Friends may visit at the Central Chapel of Hulse, Playfair & McGarry, 315 McLeod Street, on Friday, February 22 from 2-4 and 7-9 p.m. A Funeral Service celebrating Jack's life will be held in the Chapel on Saturday, February 23, 2002 at 11 a.m. Special thanks to the staff of the Ottawa Hospital Civic Campus, E2 Vascular Surgery Unit, for all their kindness, support and expertise.
