We are so sorry to receive the news of Jack’s death. What great neighbours he and Marian were for so many years. We can remember them giving us their wall papering expertise in our first home shortly after becoming their neighbours. Surprisingly it turned out very well! We will miss Jack’s friendliness, sense of humour and general ability to make everyone feel better !
Our condolences — a great guy—Brian and Gale

I was so sorry to hear of your loss. Your Dad was friends with my Dad (Bill Beard, who passed away this past February). I was always sure to have a quick chat with your Dad on my way in where he and Dad enjoyed sitting in the front. He was a very kind man. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.

Jack was always a gentlemen at work and at play. Jack’s good nature enhanced his co-workers day and left everyone feeling like they were a team.
Henry (Dad) will be anticipating the resumption of your antics and shenanigans.
