He is survived by his wife of more than 64 years Margaret. His children Barry (Lee-Ann), Ann (Merri), Ron (Julie), and Bonnie (Jason) along with his grandchildren Curtis (Melissa), Rebecca, Sydney (David), Brett (Maddie), Noah, Sam.

Jack’s journey took him through fishing in Port-Daniel, Quebec, mining in Northern Quebec and finally moving to Collingwood, Ontario. Jack worked at Blue Mountain Pottery & L.O.F. to provide a better life for his family.

Jack passed away peacefully in Collingwood, surrounded by love.

A private family service will be held.
