He graduated from Talmud Torah (1963), St. John's High School (1964) and the University of Manitoba (1968) with a Bachelor of Arts degree. Jack worked at Canada Revenue Agency for 35 years as Auditor, Case Manager and Supervisor, prior to retiring in 2007. Most recently Jack had become a passionate golfer and was a member of the Manitoba Seniors' Golf Association. He volunteered at the Winnipeg Fringe Festival, and belonged to Yachad Couples group of Winnipeg B'nai Brith. In his younger years he was a member of the Hebrew Fraternal Lodge. Retirement allowed him to do world-wide travelling. Israel was always an important destination. Jack was a loving son, brother, husband, and father. For him, family came first! Funeral services were held June 1 at Etz Chayim Synagogue followed by burial at B'nai Abraham Cemetery with Rabbi L. Lander officiating.
