Jack grew up with his siblings at Oak Lake where his parents had a tourist camp and operated a commercial fishery. He played hockey for the Kenora Thistles and went on to play for Detroit Red Wings farm teams. He was a faithful Detroit hockey fan all his life. He worked as a millwright at the Dryden mill until retirement (He had many good buddies there). Jack and Carol enjoyed the lake life on Eagle Lake for 25 years, where they made many friends.
As per Jack’s wishes there will be no service. Family will gather at a later date to celebrate his life.
