Predeceased include his mother and father, Amelia and Harold Ready and a sister, Vera Matheson as well as his in-law parents, Arlie and Russell Hogg. There will be no funeral. By choice, a graveside service will be held to inter the urn of ashes at the Oak Lake cemetery. In lieu of flowers or gifts, those wishing to make a donation in Jack’s memory, can make it to YWCA Women’s Shelter in Brandon. The shelter was a favorite cause for Jack who donated well over 100 handmade quilts for those in need.
