ohhh dear Uncle Jack, I remember you when I was little and you would come to mom and dad's camp with Aunty Peggy... You always smiled and laughed and it was so apparent how happy you made my Aunty Peg and I want to thank you for that. Love you, please give a big hug to my grandparents, mom and Aunty Peg for me as I know you will watch over them. Rest in Peace x0x0x0x - Posted by: Renee Lavoie (Niece) on: Oct 16, 2012

I remember when Jack came into our family. I found Uncle Jack interesting and funny! My husband was fond of him, as he had many interesting stories to share with Harold. My Aunt Peggy loved him dearly. They enjoyed each other's comapny and were very happy just travelling and spending time with each other.One of Aunty Peggy's last comments was "We have never been apart" They will be missed terribly. My condolences to Uncle Jack's family. - Posted by: Patti Leitschaft (niece) on: Oct 13, 2012

When Jack laughed it made lit up a room because you knew you did good. I remember watching his tough, gruff demeanour soften and disappear when holding his grandchildren. And his love for Peggy was so apparent. My thought are with the family. Xoxo - Posted by: Jean McLeod () on: Oct 13, 2012

I was Jack's son-in-law for over 25 years, and have known him since I was 16. He had a big influence in my life, and he will not be forgotten. His family is like my family, and I love them all. My thoughts go to all the family, in this most difficult time. Sincerely John. - Posted by: John R.Booth () on: Oct 12, 2012
