Jack Niccolls-McDonald Obituary
Peacefully at L.H.S.C. Victoria Campus London, Jack Niccolls-McDonald of Rodney in his 76 th year. Best friend of his wife Theresa Niccolls-McDonald whom Jack was known to say was the love of his life, and the best thing that ever happened to him, saving them both. Jack and Theresa were married in 2004 and Jack took her maiden name, giving him his double name. Loving father of Luke (Jodie), Jaclyn (John), and daughter by choice Tera (Jason).
Special grandfather of Kendra, Kyle, Logan, Ava, Watson, Kennedy, Trevor, Lily (Kaleb), Zachary, Nicholas, Brooklyn and great grandfather of Bennett. Jack was a special and Talented man. Dancing a Texas Two Step was smooth. He could cook like a chef and experiment with spices, rubs and marinades he made up. While in the Canadian Navy he became a golden glove boxer. For many years he coached little league baseball, enjoying every minute. This gave way to arm chair coaching the Toronto blue Jays and spilled over to Maple Leaf Hockey. For years Jack was involved with Scouting Canada. Attending jamborees, teaching, building types of fire then how to cook on them and care for and wilderness survival. Growing up in Kincardine allowed him to have an early morning paper route. He shovelled snow, cut grass, raked leaves and helped with what was needed by the many «Grandmas» widow’s created by WWII.
He worked with his dad as a commercial fishing and house painting business .He in turn also had a painting business. He enjoyed photographing wildlife, seasonal changes and special interests. Woodworking to supply various types of birdhouses and feeders also displays for his antiques through out his home yard. while recuperating after a difficult surgery for a broken back he took up crocheting. He had time to create many blankets ad throws with exceptionally precise even tension and perfect rows of fine yarns. Through all these experiences and raising three children, humour remained as a cornerstone in his life. His memory being so sharp allowed him to share songs he enjoyed from Old Country and 1950’s with his ability to sing just as well as the original crooners. Everyone was met with a smile and joke for any occasion. Recollection of so many events of absolute silliness, daring and sometimes outlandish escapades with life long friends Frank Stark and Harvey Ross would have you in tears of laughter. Jack worked every day, regardless of how medical issues crept up through more than 50 years insulating new homes in his own business. There have been many workers over the years but Brandon Simpson has been his right hand man until emergency surgeries for issues that came up because of years of acid reflux that left Jack on life support with no way to recover.
twenty years of love, laughs, hugs, kisses breezed by before we knew it. To think of Jack brings joy and smile’s before the sadness of loss settles in once again.
