It is with heavy hearts, to announce the sudden passing of John Hugh Petrie, fondly known as “Jack”, on December 17, 2024 at Greater Niagara General Hospital at the age of 80.
Jack was a devoted husband to his beloved wife Janet Karen (nee Calligan). Their remarkable love story began at the age of 15 and married on June 15, 1968. Jack is predeceased by his parents Hugh & Margaret, sisters and brothers-in-laws, Virginia and Wally Anderson and Marlene and Hans Nischan, as well as his father and mother-in-law Tom and Janet Calligan, and brother-in-law Bob Calligan.

Jack lived life to the fullest and was always willing to help others. He spent his career in the Local 30 Sheet Metal Industry, a job he took pride in. His passions included car racing, sports, time at the cottage, hunting, and cherished get togethers with family and friends.
More than anything, Jack will be remembered as a great family member and friend, known for his fun-loving, vibrant personality and his great sense of humor.
