LORD, John William (Jack) Passed away peacefully after a brief illness,
Thursday July 19, 2007, in the company of his family. Born in Winnipeg in
1918, Jack was predeceased by his four brothers Al, Harry, George and Bill

eight great grandchildren. Jack moved to Victoria in 1925 and attended
numerous elementary schools and Mount View High School. Jack's work at the
millwork company Crowe and Gonnason was interrupted by the war where he
served in the navy as a shipwright based in Halifax. Following the war Jack
and Elaine lived in Port Alberni for a few years before coming back to
Victoria where he returned to the millwork business with Stewart & Hudson
followed by many years as the owner of Builder's Sash & Door before retiring
in the mid 70's. Jack loved boating. He built two boats, the second of
which, Poppie's Gal, was a familiar site in local waters as Elaine and Jack
enjoyed many years of summering in the Gulf Islands. They wintered in Rancho
Mirage, California where Jack's outgoing nature resulted in them making many
dear friends that became like a second family. His own family was Jack's
other great love and he was generous, supportive and happiest when
surrounded by his children and grandchildren. He was friendly to everyone
and often the first to offer help when someone was in need. He faced his own
challenges with an uncomplaining determination and strength. He will be
greatly missed by his family and remembered fondly by his many friends. The
family thanks Dr. Don Marshall. No service by request. 392813
