I would like to express my sincere condolences to the family. The loss of a love one brings much grief and agony, but there is so much comfort that can be found in God’s word the bible. The promise of a resurrection at John 5:28, 29 and death will be no more at Revelation 21:3, 4. Taking in true knowledge of the true God and his son Jesus, assures us eternal life. (John 17:3)

Dear Suzan and Garry and family:
I just recently learned news about Jack’s passing.
In 1970, I met Jack. I guess you could say he saved my life; he hired me. I’ll never forget him.
I believe Jack was 46 when I met him. I thought that was old. Today, I’m 72; 46 wasn’t that old.
One thing I know for sure, Jack loved his grandsons; I know he knew they were a blessing; his eyes lit-up when he mentioned them. Looking back over the years, I have to say Jack taught me a lot about writing and a bunch of other things too. Jack was the best boss I ever had.
Jack was a kind man; he respected others; humble people do that.
May God bless all of you.
Sincerely,
Jerry O’Rourke
Riverview, N.B.
