Sylvia and daughters:Jack's loss will leave a big hole in your hearts but you are left with memories of the good times and love he had for you all. Jack was one of the good guys. Hugs to all.

Dearest Sylvia, daughters & families,

Please accept my sincerest sympathy on the loss of your life partner and precious dad & grandpa. I knew Jackie to be a man with a brilliant mind, and an sharp/quick sense of humor. There’s a staff room in the sky where colleagues will greet him with open arms and a few off-colour jokes. The last time I saw Jackie, he was volunteering at the benefit for Theresa Cornell. Serving, always serving. Please know you’re thought of and prayed for.

My deepest regrets to you Silvia and family. I can’t believe he has passed away, it was not long ago I seen him. Jackie was alway so sweet, kind and considerate. I enjoyed our talks at Herby’s every time I got home. I will surely miss him. He truly was a wonderful person. I had never seen him without a smile. He would do anything for anyone. Please take care and hold on to all the wonderful memories you had together. Hugs and kisses.

So sorry for your loss ,my Sincere Sympathy to all the family.

Dear Sylvia, girls and families,

Sending love and prayers during your great loss. Jackie was a friend to all who knew and loved him. I had the great pleasure of meeting Jackie and Sylvia when they bowled with the team from Lower River Inhabitants. We had so much fun on the school bus driving to Antigonish and back every Friday night, so many great memories. Jackie always had a way of making everyone smile and laugh with his great wit. I reconnected with Jackie when I joined Facebook back in 2008, and we often had personal chats. I so enjoyed his posts and the back and forth humour, especially when it came to his beloved PENS. Myself and others being Leaf and Hab fans often joked back and forth. I'm truly going to miss that banter. Heaven received another angel on January 27th, and I know that God and your beautiful granddaughter, Shelby greeted you with open arms. Fly high Jackie and know that you will always be remembered and missed by us all.

Sincere condolences,

Love, Belinda xoxo
