Jack worked as a Realtor for almost thirty years both in Lethbridge and Edmonton, achieving recognition as Canada’s top seller and lister during his years with Century 21. He also served as Manager of Lethbridge Minor Hockey. During his 44 years as a member of AA, Jack’s tough love and caring nature helped many find a better way of life through the 12 step program. Jack was a member of the Lethbridge Native Sons from 1947-1949 and the highlight of his hockey career was the LNS becoming the Juvenile Alberta Champions in 1947/48. He was inducted into the Lethbridge Sports Hall of Fame in 1986. Everyone that knew Jack knew of his ability to love deeply and laugh long, and that just knowing him brightened the lives of those around him. He will be greatly missed by all.
