Jack's youthful soul was loved and admired by his family and friends and he will be sorely missed. He always had a big heart for children and dogs and was like a big lovable kid himself. You knew when he was around because you could hear Jack's laugh across any room. His volunteer commitment to the community at various times and places was endless. He gave his time and knowledge to Scouting, YMCA (as a founding member in Prince George), Air Cadets, Doray Enterprises and Meals on Wheels. Jack had a continuous involvement with Rotary International, eventually serving in various positions on the executive including President of the Westwin Club. He also served with most of the Electrical industry organizations such as the MEL (Manitoba Electrical League) and IES (Illuminating Engineering Society) and CEMRA. He thoroughly enjoyed his time working with the people associated with these organizations and the services they provided to the community. In compliance with Jack's wishes, there will be no formal funeral service. In lieu of flowers, please send a donation in Jack's memory to the Children's Hospital Foundation of Winnipeg Inc. CE 501 840 Sherbrook Street, Winnipeg, Manitoba R3A 1S1.
