Jack will be dearly missed by his sister Frances.  He was a caring and loving brother.  May he rest in peace.

May you enjoy the journey with all the love you grew, and the ones waiting for you.  
Peace, light and love to you uncle john.

To Jack's Family:
I worked with Jack at the CPR for many years. Always a kind word for everyone.
A gentleman to work with.
Lindy Larsen.

May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face;
the rains fall soft upon your fields and until we meet again,
may God hold you in the palm of His hand.  Uncle Jack will remain in our hearts forever.  Nancy and family

Jack's sister, Betty is extremely saddened at the passing of her brother. She has always spoken so kindly of Jack and all the memories he has left with her. I spoke to Jack on many occasions and he continually wanted to know how Betty was doing. Betty, my grandmother, was speaking of Jack today and wished she could have seen him again one last time before he went to rest.

Rest gently Great Uncle Jack,

Sherry Marshall 
and
Betty(Gillis)MacRae (sister in Nova Scotia)
