Dad was predeceased by two wonderful people, his parents, Ben and Esther Shapiro. Dad treated everyone he met with kindness and respect. For him, the family was his world. One of his greatest pleasures was cooking and having the entire extended family over for dinners on holidays. His steaks were legendary. He found a new youth in his granddaughters and spent many wonderful hours with them. Thank you to the wonderful doctors and nurses at the Health Sciences Centre (Unit GA4 and MICU) and at Seven Oaks Hospital (3 Unit 4 and Observation and Emergency) who worked tirelessly to take such good care of Dad, especially in this past month.

A spark plug for young entertainers. Supporter and created opportunities for all. Was with him as the Swingtones, on the House that Jack Built and then on Sit Back With Jack on CBC Wpg. Great unique sense of humour. - Posted by: Bill perry (Worked on jacks tv shows in the 60s) on: Dec 31, 2014
