My wife and I are very sorry to hear this announcement. We are grateful we had time with Jack and Betty, through the United Church in Meadowood. Jack and Betty were leaders and positive role models, in our St. Vital community. Many times we would worship, work and laugh with Jack. I believe he is having a good laugh with Jesus, right now, as he looks on his wonderful family and loving friends. We have Betty and her family in our prayers at the United Church in Meadowood. My mother and father, Bobbie and Don Purdey, at Seine River residence also send their sincere regrets, on Jack's passing. God Bless Betty and her family, from the Purdeys. - Posted by: Douglas and Loraine Purdey (Friends from UCiM) on: Apr 27, 2013

So sorry we aren't able to attend the service today but our thoughts and prayers are with you. We always enjoyed Jack's sense of humor and had lots of good times at the lake. Scott still remembers the time that your Dad took him canoeing. Glenna and Barry - Posted by: Glenna and Barry () on: Apr 27, 2013
