With his wife by his side at Queensway Nursing Home, Hensall on Thursday, April 26, 2018 of Brighton in his 81st year. Adored and loving husband of Helen (Johns) Brown for 52 years. Dear father of Chris and Lindy Brown of Waterloo. Cherished grandfather of Aela and Kate. Dear brother of Mary and Doug Macklam of Brighton. Predeceased by his sister Catherine and her husband Murray Roblin. He will be sadly missed by the entire Johns family. Jack was a proud apple farmer taking pride in both his knowledge and the dedication to the yearly harvest of his crop. He truly enjoyed and respected the outdoors, bonding with his son Chris while fishing and hunting. Jack will be remembered for his special relationship with his wife Helen where they enjoyed travel, tea, but most of all each others company.
All are welcome to a graveside service at Welcome Cemetery, Port Hope on Wednesday, May 2nd at 2 PM.
Donations to Cold Creek Flyfishers (a long-standing organization which has been looking after one of Ontario’s premier trout fisheries since 1976) would be appreciated by the family.

Condolences from the Cold Creek Fly Fishers and thank you for any donations that may come our way.
On a personal note I remember Jack as a long standing member of the CCFF. I shared many conservation days with him and he was always the person you could depend on to show up and he was the most willing of workers and always happy and smiling. I never got the opportunity to fish with Jack but I know he loved the creek and the surrounding countryside as I do and we shared many conversations about our good fortune in being able to fish in such a beautiful and relaxing spot. Jack will be remembered by all CCFF at our opening day banquet this 28th April 2018 and I will remember Jack as a friend and most excellent member of CCFF.
