We are thinking of you today with sad hearts, I have fond memories of laughing, joking, campfires and family picnic baseball games with Uncle Jack. He was an example of a loving caring person. I know he will be missed. Our love to you Aunt Betty-Rose, Rob, Sarah, Maarten and family.
Our thoughts and prayers are extended to the Stewart family. Fond memories of many card games over the years with Jack and Betty at the RV park.
Dear Betty & Family, our families have been friends for over 64 years. Jack was always so positive. Always with a smile on his lips or that infectious laugh. We have shared many memories especially of summer days at our cottage on Clearwater Lake. We will miss him very much. Our heartfelt condolences to you & the family & we will talk soon. Much love the Davis family❤️

My thoughts are with the Stewart family at this time. I lived for many years across the road from Russell and Harriet and Gary practically lived at our house during the summers when he helped on our farm.
