WILLIAM JOHN (JACK) MONTGOMERY It is with great sadness that the family of William John (Jack) Montgomery announces his passing on January 13, 2011 after a short but courageous battle with cancer. Jack was born on December 16, 1934 in Nipawin, Sask. While working in Nipawin, he met Jean Meyer, whom he later married in 1967. The marriage was blessed with twin daughters, Sharon and Karen. Jack worked in the grain industry for Northern Sales in Winnipeg for over 30 years and retired in 1999. Jack was predeceased by his wife Jean and brother Allister. He is survived by his daughter Karen, grandson Tyrese, daughter Sharon, son-in-law Derek and sister Ruth. Jack led a simple, unassuming life. He had a quick wit and easy smile and was a charming man who loved to make people laugh. He was healthy and strong until the end and never missed a day of work. He was a devoted husband, father, grandfather and loyal friend to many and so he will be sorely missed by many. While in hospital, Jack remarked that he didn't know he had so many friends. A lifetime of treating others with generosity, care and love was returned in kind in his time of need. Jack, you will always hold an important place in our lives. Though you have left our sight, our hearing and touch, you remain in our memories and hearts. You live on through the love you shared with us and that we continue to share with others. In keeping with Jack's wishes, a private family service will be held. The family wishes to thank the many people who made Jack's last weeks as comfortable as possible and whose support and compassionate care eased his and our burden including: Dr. A. H. Khan, the Victoria and Riverview hospital nurses and staff and many family and friends - we are deeply grateful for your actions, empathy, thoughts and prayers. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to CancerCare Manitoba. Thomson In the Park 925-1120 Condolences may be sent to www.thomsoninthepark.com
