JOHN (JACK) BENNETT 1920 - 2006 John passed away peacefully November 23, 2006 surrounded by his daughters and his wife Estrella. John lived most of his life in Winnipeg and spent many happy summers at the cottage he built for his family at Victoria Beach, MB. Predeceased by his wife Betty (1999) and sisters, Phyllis and Vida, he leaves behind his six girls , wife Estrella; daughters Tonia Hayden (Brian) of White Rock, BC, Pam Tottle (Jeff) of Winnipeg, MB, Barbara Bennett (Gord Muir) of Victoria, BC, Brenda Purdie (Craig) and Deborah Wilder (David); stepson Marvin, as well as 11 grandchildren and four great-grandchildren. John was in the Princess Pat's Light Infantry during the Second World War, where he entertained troops playing saxophone with his chums in the band. He worked as an accountant for the Saskatchewan Wheat Pool then moved on to work for the Manitoba Health Commission. He loved to curl and passed on his love of music to his daughters, playing saxophone, guitar and piano. He was a gardener, a great cook, a self-taught carpenter, handyman, an avid reader, had a deep love of animals and loved to paddle his canoe. John had a wonderful sense of humour and will always keep us laughing. Thank you to all his caregivers including Dr. Chen and the nurses at the Peace Arch Hospital, White Rock, BC. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the S.P.C.A. (Humane Society) in British Columbia or Winnipeg, MB.
