OBITUARY JACK LEVINE It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of our loved Jack Levine on January 16, 2009 in Vancouver, B.C. Jack died suddenly of cardiac complications under the watchful and caring team of the VGH Cardiac Care Unit. We are grateful for their efforts and compassion as well as the remarkable personal and dedicated care provided to Jack over the years by Drs. Lubin, Feinstadt and Boroomand. Jack was predeceased by his sisters Mattie and Sema and daughter Cheryl. He is survived by Shirley, his wife of sixty-four years, his son Marc, of whom he was very proud, and his favourite daughter-in-law Joan Pinkus, his grandchildren, who adored him and whom he cherished: Jay Krames (Trudi), Elayne Howitt, Jordan and Adrian Levine, and his four terrific great-grandsons, Matthew and Nolan Krames, Adam and Joshua Howitt. Jack will also be missed by his sister and brother-in law, Marilyn and David, dedicated nieces, nephews and dear friends in Quebec, Ontario and Florida, as well as the wonderful friends he has made since he and Shirley moved from Montreal to Vancouver in 1995. Besides having dinners with his family, one of Jack's favourite activities in Vancouver was to go the golf club and be with his friends, with whom he greatly enjoyed talking and sharing memories. Funeral service will be held at Temple Sholom at 7190 Oak Street, Vancouver at 12:00 noon on Wednesday, January 21. Burial will be at the Temple Sholom cemetery in White Rock. If you wish, donations can be made to the Louis Brier Home and Hospital ( www.louisbrier.com ), the Jewish Community Centre of Vancouver ( www.jccgv.com ) or a charity of your choice.
