Jack was predeceased by his beloved wife Jean (2005) and four brothers and one sister. Jack was a gentleman. He was strong, quiet and patient. He was a man of faith who loved his family, parish and Country. Dad was a WWII veteran and served in England, France, Holland and Germany. Upon returning to civilian life, Jack resumed his occupation as a photoengraver/lithographer. Jack and Jean were married in St. Alphonsus Church in 1948. He was a charter member of the Knights of Columbus East Kildonan Council #4107, and a member of Prince Edward Legion #81. The family would like to thank Karen Murphy and all the staff of Tower 6 at Deer Lodge Centre for all the great care, respect and compassion shown to Dad during his short stay there. We would also like to thank Fr. Gerry Ward for his visits and anointing Dad on the Saturday before he died. We love you G.G. and will miss you dearly. Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at St. Alphonsus Church, 315 Munroe Ave. on Wednesday April 20, at 11:00 am, with Fr. Janusz Maron presiding and a reception to follow in the Parish Hall.
