    I am very sorry for your loss. I remember Jack delivering bread, buying Dad’s rotiller and selling it back to me, mowing grass in December one year and blowing snow on the same day another year (London Free Press pictures that I still have), soccer days, and most of all that smile. Love from Marilyn and Kelly.

    Dear Donna, Ruth Ann, Janice ,Cathy and families,

    I was very sorry to hear Jack had passed away. I always remember him as a friendly man who could exchange “hellos” when meeting him. I enjoyed the photos offered for display. The picture with the “bread truck’ is how I originally remember Jack. He obviously has a loving family and he will be missed. Thinking of you.
