Condolence from Jim Jack on December 6th, 2019 3:09 pm

Dear Karin and family,
I am saddened to learn of Jerry’s passing. No doubt, my favourite cousin. I loved whenever you guys visited us in Unionville, as Jerry would always spend time throwing a ball around with me, either baseball or lacrosse. He gifted me with a special bamboo fishing kit that I believed he had gotten overseas (Korea maybe?). Jerry also took a chance with me and had me work Christmas in the store at Scarborough Town Centre while I was a student at Ryerson. I believe I let him down on that occasion but I know he would easily have let that pass, he was just a good human being. Please know that you were always the popular ones among all the Jack kids and I wish you and your children much love and support in what I know must be a difficult time. Love Jimmy

Condolence from Kristy Jenkins on December 12th, 2019 3:08 pm

Hello Karin,

My dad shared the sad news of losing his oldest friend. The beautiful obituary and video compilation resembles a life well lived!

Recent visits you both had with my parents in Kitchener were special and valued. We talked of times passed. As kids, I still recall visits to your beautiful old Toronto home and playing hide and seek with Shelly, Wendy and David. Did you have an indoor/outdoor grill??? I remember your long pony tail getting caught under Jerry’s arm when he put it around you and we all laughed. Life’s memories…priceless!
Best blessings to you and your family during this time. Warmly, Kristy Jenkins

Dear Karin and family;
So sorry to hear from Maja-Lisa this evening that your Gerry has passed on to the golf course in the sky. I remember our visits to you in Toronto in your very happy early years and its been nice to reconnect with you folks back in Liverpool during my rare visits. Jerry really appreciated his days in Liverpool and White Point: and made many good friends during your years back home on Church Street. May your many happy memories sustain you and David, Wendy and Shelley and grandchildren during these difficult days and into the future.

Dear Karin and family,

Have just heard of Jerry’s passing, and am so sorry to hear of your loss. Was just thinking of him the other day when I played some of his Christmas music that he gave me to make copies of when I lived next door. He had great taste in music.
Sending my sincere condolences.
