Jack loved to travel in Canada, USA and Mexico. He also enjoyed visitors and taking them fishing on his pontoon boat. Until the end, Jack was very positive and hopeful and had a great sense of humor.
The family wishes to thank all the doctors and all the special nurses in Med 1 at Selkirk General Hospital for the care and compassion and to Ed Chaeys for always being there.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to CancerCare Manitoba.
