    Such a lovely man, kind, generous, fantastic sense of humour, always brought a huge smile to my face.
    I feel very fortunate to have known you Jack. You will always be fondly remembered., with much gratitude. ♥

    All of us at Belmore Feed Mill would like to express our sympathies to Jack’s family. Many a good story was shared when he or his boys delivered salt. it was always a pleasure to see him. Jack was a very good person who served his clients well. He has been greatly missed here since he sold his business.
    May your love and memories of Jack help you through this difficult time. We know he will be greatly missed.

    To Jack’s Family
    I am sorry to hear of your loss. I have known Jack since I was a teenager when he first started picking up salt from Windsor Salt. Always a guy with a smile on his face and kind words for those he would encounter. He took a one man truck company and built it into a good size trucking operation.
    Jack was all about family and friends. A very good man, father, husband and friend has been lost.
    Sorry I will not be able to attend the visitation or funeral as I am out of town
    Deepest sympathy and condolences
    Dave Million
