Jack enjoyed a long career as a chiropractor in Agincourt. He dedicated his life to helping people in need. In his retirement he and Irene enjoyed their trips to Ireland and Florida. His passion was his family. Jack was brave, inspiring and quite a character with a quick smile and an infectious laugh. He went to all the kids’ activities and sporting events. He would cheer them on and congratulate them on their efforts. “A loss isn’t a loss if you’ve learned something – it’s a lesson.” he would say with a smile. Jack loved everything hockey, as a successful junior player and then as a coach. He remembered the boys that played for him and enjoyed telling the stories of their successes. He also loved tennis or anything that could keep him moving. His bright spirit, thoughtfulness and kindness will always be remembered.
