To the Matthews family:
Please accept my condolences on the occasion of Jack's passing. Jack was a good friend of the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic and one of the most effective members of our Advisory Council during my tenure as Director. His contribution to numerous marine organizations and societies and his untiring efforts to obtain veteran's status for merchant mariners was second to none. 
I have a special fond memory of Jack reciting his poem As the Convoy Passes at the 1996 opening of our convoy exhibit.
I shall always remember his generous sharing of his seafaring knowledge and his ever-present sense of humour. He was a true gentleman.

To The Matthews Family - Our deepest sympathy at this time. Will miss his many stories whenever we met.

Very sorry to hear of your father's passing. I have fond memories of his great sense of humour. He was a good friend of my parents, Herman and Flo McDonald. 
Deepest condolences,
Wanda (McDonald) Webber

My deepest sympathy on the death of my "Grand Warder".  Jack was such a special person to Russ and I.  Unfortunately I can't be with you on Tuesday as Russ has just been released from the Hfx Infirmary following surgery and I can't leave him alone here in Malagash!  My thoughts and prayers are with you all.  He is now at rest with his beloved Dot who we all miss so much too! I had planned on visiting Capt. Jack when I had a minute but Dot called him and he answered.  Take care, love to you all, Marian and Russ Durling

To Linda and Family,

It was with sadness that we read about your fathers passing. Our thoughts and our prayers are with you and yours at this time.

Capt. Jack Matthews Family:
My sincere condolences in the loss of your father and grandfather. It has been many years since I visited when we lived in Maplehurst Apts. Linda was one of my first friends when moving here from Cape Breton. Losing a parent is never easy and happy to learn you had him in your life for 91 years. My happy memories of your life with your Dad help comfort you in the difficult time ahead.

Sincerely,
Diane Comeau

Thank God for the internet. How I remember Sunday drives after church, all of us packed into the car. Drives out to Silver Sands to play on the moose and his stories. Cannot remember the stories but remember the telling. He sure loved his kids and always took me along with them. One of my best friends, Donna, surely had a great father and mother. I am blessed to have been a part of your family for many years, and Newcastle street was special because of them. Sunday church, drives, stories and hot dinner after the drive. Your family was special to me and I am grateful. My dad, Percy Perry, and Jack worked together for many years with Imperial Oil. They were good friends.

God bless.  Your are in my thoughts and prayers.

To the Matthews family:
                                     I was saddened to hear of Capt. Jack's passing. I had the pleasure of knowing and talking with Capt. Jack many times over the years,usually at the old Canadian Tire store in Dartmouth.
As his wife would go about shopping Jack and I would stand alone in one of the corners of the store talking about almost anything. He had great stories,was very knowledgeable and great sense of humour.
He was a man of many talents but it appeared to me his best talents were in being a husband,father and grandfather.
Regretfully I will be away and unable to help celebrate Capt. Jack's life,however my thoughts and prayers are with you all during this time.

Kind Regards:
Charlie A. Verge
