In keeping with Jack’s wishes, there will be no service held and cremation has already taken place. He will be laid to rest beside Bena at a later time.
I would like to extend heartfelt thanks to Kelly and Ross Robertson for all of your generous support for Dad. Also, thank you to the nursing staff at St. Joseph’s Hospital on 4 South for the outstanding care and compassion you provided while he was with you. A special thank you goes out to Roberta for everything you did for him.
