He loved his trade, and went on to welding jobs across Canada from Ontario to British Columbia. He made many lifelong friends along the way. Jack retired in 1999. In accordance with Jack's wishes, cremation has taken place and there will be no service. A family gathering and interment is planned for a later date.
