Condolences

Condolence From: Dan Kennedy
Condolence: I met Jack in May of 1967 when I joined Northern Electric in Ottawa. I was a 20 year old, shy and somewhat naive new college graduate. Jack immediately took me under his wing and introduced me into the high tech world. He always had a smile and of course a way of playing practical jokes. Jack sat two desks away from me in the lab and this one day I decided to play a joke on him. He was testing a new circuit board and when Jack was doing paper work at his desk I placed a hot soldering iron, with some rubber over it, under his board. Smoke began curling up from the test bench and I never saw Jack move so fast to see what was going on. We both had a chuckle over this incident. I lost contact with Jack after 1969 and often wondered where he ended up. I live near the house he lived in Glen Cairn. Jack was a great peer at work, always had a smile for you and I feel privileged to have known him. I offer you my sincere condolences for your loss of a great and caring man.

Condolence: I am so sorry to hear of Jack's passing. My sincere condolences to his family.
I met Jack when he first came into the retirement home. I will never forget his smile and his sense of humour. He never complained and truly was always a gentleman. "Goodbye Jack, may you Rest in Peace".

Condolence: Dear Dave, Steve and family,

I'm so sorry for the loss of your father. Please accept my sincere condolences in this most difficult of times for you.

I first met Jack more than 35 years ago when we both worked for BNR/Nortel. Through our work and also through the ham radio hobby, we became good friends, and kept in touch over the years. Jack was a fine gentleman and I will miss him very much.
