Born October 19, 1944, in Hagersville, ON, son of the late Hugh and Eileen McCallum. He will lovingly be remembered by his wife of 35 years Barbara; sisters, Judy Wright, nieces Dawna (Peter) Riedel, son Liam, Sharleen (Gord) Makara, daughters, Asia and Abi, Maureen (Mike) Fudge; Pat (Barry) Stephenson, nieces Bryanne (fiance Matthew Honer), Shandra, Mandie and Leah; and brother Ken McCallum.

John was predeceased by brother-in-law Bob Wright and father-in-law Arnold Adams. After many years of working as an accountant Jack retired and spent the years traveling with Barb and Sandi in their fifth wheel across Canada and points in United States. Please Note - if Jack couldn't drive there - we weren't going there. Jack spent many years at the McCallum Hide-A-Way at Brereton Lake. In his youth Jack was a Sea Cadet for many years. Jack was an avid curler winning many trophies and bonspiels. Jack enjoyed his snowmobiling with friend Doug Madsen - they covered a lot of territory together. Jack was a Chartered Member of The Oakbank Springfield Kinsmen Club and on December 1, 2001, received his Life Membership. Jack was an enthusiastic fisherman - ask any Kinsmen. Cremation has taken place. In keeping with Jack's wishes, there will be no funeral service - rather, a celebration of life will be held on Tuesday, December 13 at 1:00 p.m. at Dugald Community Centre, 544 Holland St., Dugald, MB. Lunch will be served. Flowers gratefully declined. Donations may be made to the Oakbank Springfield Kinsmen Youth Centre, in care of R.M. of Springfield, 628 Main St., Oakbank, MB R0E 1J0, or charity of your choice. Special thanks to Dr. Van Dyke, nurse Krista and Emergency Room Selkirk Regional Hospital staff. KLASSEN FUNERAL HOME 1897 Henderson - North of McIvor - 338-0331

Deepest sympathy at the death of a wonderful human being. Distances kept us from seeing much of him but we always did whenever possible. He will be sorely missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing him. - Posted by: Laurie Anderson (Acquaintance) on: Dec 11, 2005
