To Uncle Jack

I am so sorry I didn’t have the chance to see you again. My fault of course. But know that I thought of you often. I have so many fond memories of being a kid and our families doing so much together. All of us had so much fun in the backyard playing in the little pool, going for walks, getting together often for dinners. It was a wonderful childhood and a lot of that had to do with your family.
As an adult we saw each other less because of my distant locations, but that doesn’t mean you were not thought of often. When we did see you it was always a wonderful time. Your sense of humour and the closeness of all of us was so special, and rare I think. Thank you so much for giving me such wonderful memories of you and our times together. I hope that gave something to you too.

Say hi to Auntie Lil for me.

Love Arlene

To John, Bob, Leone Ian, Brian and the rest of the family

Your Dad, in whatever role he was to you, was a wonderful man - kind, funny, thoughtful, solid and giving. I am so glad he was my Uncle and I have so many wonderful memories of him and all of us together. Both your Mom and Dad were very special to me even though I rarely saw them. Hindsight is not always a friend. I wish I had seen or spoken to him more often but we never think we won’t have that chance again. Please know that he will be missed, I’m sure by the whole family, and remembered kindly. The last of the Venn’s of that generation - well he is an honourary Venn you know. You were blessed to have had him to enjoy and meet kids and a grandchild. I’m sure you were all his pride and joy. He was lucky to have a family who loved him and spent time with him also.

My thoughts are with you as I know you are sad, but be happy he had such a long and good life that was a bonus to all of you.

Uncle Jack was a person we admired and respected. He was kind and generous. Whatever life issues arose, Uncle Jack seldom complained and was slow to anger. His stamina and patience were evident while he cared for his wife as her illness progressed.

We have fond memories of the times we spent with Uncle Jack, including being invited to and enjoying time with he and his family at cottages over the years.

Uncle Jack will be missed by many. Our sympathy goes out to his immediate family who will miss him the most.
