Paula, it is with great sadness we offer our heart felt condolences to you and your family at this most difficult time. We became acquainted with Jack through bowling, one of his passions, but what also became very clear; Jack was a family man and a proud soldier who served with honour and pride. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Our heartfelt condolences to Jack's whole family. I'm so glad we attended his and Paula's 50th wedding anniversary. I shall remember how happy he was that day and evening. I'm so glad I got to know him as my cousin even if it was only the last 25 or so years! I will miss going back east to see him. Much love, Paula, to you and all your family!
