Very sorry to hear about Jack. Helen and I first met Jack at an Ontario P.C. event. We have always appreciated his support and over the years became good friends. We will not be at the funeral, Helen’s father also passed away this week and the funeral is in Mt. Forest at the same time.
Condolence: We had some great fishing trips.
We will miss him in the years to come. Our thoughts are with you.
Deepest Sympathy. I am so sorry to hear about your father’s passing. I pray that you will find solace in the many memories you will carry with you.
