Privately, Jack’s family and his many friends will remember a wonderfully social man with an insatiable and infectious intellectual curiosity and an enormous capacity for deep and lasting friendship.

Jack is survived by his wife Marion, son Gregg [Audrey] grandchildren Katherine, Andrew and Madeline and brother Donald [Judith] He was predeceased by his parents Edward and Madeline, son Christopher and sister Marilyn. The family would like to thank Dr. Bruce Robinson and home care nurses Patrina, Jill, Lesley and Tracey for their excellent and compassionate care.
