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

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
