Thinking of you always !
Love Garry & Audrey
I'll always miss you, and i'll never ever forget our last conversation.
Love you and miss you like a father. Goodbye my friend.
On this what would have been Jack's Birthday I fondly remember all the good time spent celebrating that very event. RIP Jack we will be there to celebrate with you at some point.
We miss you lots & lots, for ever!
We met Jack and Debbie first as Gordon’s clients about ten years ago, and then they quickly became two of our dearest friends. Jack wore many hats in our relationship ranging from our client, partner, pharmacist, friend, to family.
Regrettably, I wasn’t able to attend Jack's memorial service today with the time and distance restrictions, but spent the day remembering him going through the wonderful memorial site Debbie created. I’m sure she arranged an equally wonderful memorial service for him with the family and friends around as well.
Thank you so much Jack for your trust, loyalty, and friendship all these years. Hopefully you are reunited with Gordon and Daksh now and you all are enjoying one another’s company again. You guys are probably bantering over Fox news, UFC fights, and SEO strategies ("Gurden, you have no SEO” as Daksh would often say). And of course, contemplating world domination with new business ideas from numerous brainstorming sessions.
Debbie, we both appreciated you just as much and I hope to be able to repay your kindness at least little bit through this difficult time. Please don’t hesitate to contact me anytime you need a friend (if you can settle for an unreliable one, that is). His memories are alive in my heart, and you and the family are in my thoughts.
Our deepest sympathy to you at this sad time. I have many good memories of Jack during his time in Melita. He was a good person and I will treasure the great visit we had at the luncheon for Gerry.
I want you to know that I am thinking of you.
We know the family is in pain with his sudden passing away and we share their grief especially with Debbie, David, Carey and the rest of the family. He would always be remembered and he is in our prayers.
May he rest in peace.
Jack and garry played a lot of cards together whether it be crib or poker,mostly the latter. They enjoyed a few jets games together and in earlier years curled a season together. If we can help deb,let us know
Take. Care. Love Garry & Audrey
Your memories will be etched forever. No words to describe how much you will be missed.

the Savage Grandkids (Kesten & Crue)
Do you know my Dad...(He was curious too when he was younger)? While visiting Grama Debbie and Grampa Jack in Traverse Bay one summer, Grama told us to play outside. Well Grampa Jack left the garage door open and there was LOTS to find in there and around the acreage to build this epic fort. To date this is the best fort we have ever made. Grampa Jack will be missed dearly by Todd, Shannon, Kesten and Crue.
Poker Nights
Audrey Johnson emailed me and wanted to share a story. Jack and Garry had many poker games together. After a night of playing in their home, Audrey got up to go to work the next morning - no Garry. After phoning around to see where he might be, she soon learned that he had driven Jack to Grand Forks in the wee small hours. Everything OK - it was Jack.
This goes back many years but Garry & Jack also curled together at St. Vital and won club championship that year. A very good curler. A very nice guy... we feel very sad for jacks passing.

Visuals
I sought after words that would chime off the ears of friends and family
BUT only descriptive visuals took shape
The lush green of a golf course manicured, blossomed with shadow cast trails. The exotic of fine cuisine and rich dessert trays. The stillness of a lounge chair and stool with a cuddled up cat on lap preparing its dance of slumber. The drone of Fox News weighing heavy in the background competing with mundane conversations.
Organized and yet Not
A black briefcase of chords wrapped to perfection to solve the next tech issue – new gadgets they say. The camera focused, alert and tuned into the emotional atmosphere of the moment anxious to add to the collection already inspired. The cap, colored crisp, brim adorning eye wear - Fashion statement strong. The plane to yet unchartered territory soaking worldly awareness, culture and experience. A mind busy, entrepreneurial, risk taking thoughts – Understood and misunderstood.
Parent and Proud
Husband and Loyal
Grandfather and Achievement
A created Haven, a Home for those that sought refuge, giving, sharing
A Friend
