Tribute

Jack passed away peacefully on the evening of June 27, after a short battle with brain cancer, surrounded by family and friends. Jack was born in Trois Riviere, Quebec, and moved with his family to Powell River when he was two years old. He spent his life living and working here, retiring from the mill in 2000 after 38 years’ service.

He was predeceased by his parents and his son Michael in 2002. He is survived by his wife Pat, son Mark (Ana), daughter Michele (Miles), stepdaughter Lyn (Steve), stepsons Dave, Sam (Kath), Casey (Selena), Rob (Virginia), grandchildren Kerry, Michael, Liam, Owen, Wes, Morgan, Sapphire, Taryn, Russell, Alisha, Jesse and one great-grandchild. He is also survived by his sisters Jacqueline, Rita, Huguette, Linda (Jeanil), Joyce, and one brother, Claude, as well as many nieces and nephews. He had many wonderful friends that were at his side for support during his illness. He treasured every visit.

There will be no service at his request, but there will be a gathering to remember him, at a later date. We will all miss him so much! In lieu of flowers, donations in his memory to cancer research are greatly appreciated.

Luv You, Bye!!
