Pat, Penny and Shaun, Trevor and Grandchildren,
We offer to you our sincere sympathies in the passing of Jack. Please know you are all in our thoughts and prayers. Jack was a great friend to our family. Garry and Jack spent many hours together over many years doing volunteer work for the Agricultural Society and working on Garry’s farm. Jack was always willing to lend a hand, never wanting anything in return. He and Garry had many adventures over the years. He loved life, had a great sense of humour and a wonderful smile! He served as the first president of the Ashmont Agricultural Society; as well, he served capably in other positions on the Board over many years and was in charge of securing funding grants and was a master at this! How we will remember the discussions about world news we had around our kitchen table over the years and all the talks in Garry’s shop! Jack, you will always be in our thoughts and memories and we will miss you greatly.
