Jack was born in Cobourg on October 9, 1945. In 1989, he and Barb moved from Port Hope to Flinton to start their own renovation business, Jack’s House and Cottage Repair. Throughout their renovation career, Jack and Barb worked side by side. They earned a stellar reputation by offering fair and honest services, including lawn care, pump maintenance, cottage opening and closing, deck building, roof replacement, kitchen and bathroom renovations, and much more.

Jack had many passions, including fishing, hunting partridge, and working with his hands. He cherished their vegetable and flower gardens and took great pride in growing and raising their own food, such as eggs and chickens. His love of the outdoors and fishing was a joy he shared with his grandsons and nephews.

Cremation has been entrusted to Milestone Funeral Center, Northbrook. A Celebration of Jack’s Life will be held on the Canada Day weekend at Jack’s home in Flinton.
