JACK WORMS

It is with great sadness, that on Saturday, March 29, Jack (Jacob) Worms, age 63, resident of St. Adolphe, passed away peacefully after a short battle with cancer, at the Victoria General Hospital in Winnipeg. He is survived by his wife of 38 years, Barb and three daughters: Tara (Glen) & Samantha; Tracy (J.J.) & Tiffany and Dylan, and Hali (Guy) & Kelly, Tyson, and Alexis.

Jack was born in Morden, the youngest of eight children (sisters Marion, Katie, Esther, Helen, Betty, and brothers George and John). He spent his early years on the family farm south of the town. On moving to Winnipeg, he found employment with firms providing parts to the automotive and agricultural sectors, notably with his own business, Hanover Bearing and Auto. Later he managed the Niverville branch of Piston Ring. He was well known for his encyclopedic knowledge as it applied to automobile and farm machinery components.

At his home in St. Adolphe, Jack collected antiques, specifically those with an agricultural focus, built models, and looked forward to spring so he could plant his garden.

Jack was predeceased by his parents, Jacob and Tina Worms , son-in-law Guy Sansregret, and two sisters, Katie and Marion.

The memorial service will be held Friday, April 4, at 2:00 p.m. at Birchwood Funeral Chapel, 150 Penfeld Drive, Steinbach.

Donations in honour of Jack may be made to CancerCare Manitoba.
