Our most sincere sympathies to the family and friends of Jack Arthur Jessop..
Death notice for the town of: Toronto, Province: Ontario
My name is Tracy and I am a librarian at both the Sutton and Keswick library branches. I am so terribly sorry for the loss of Jack. He was an amazing man and always such a delight to have in the library as one of our patrons. His stories were always so funny and interesting. There will be a great hole left here without him. Please accept my deepest sympathies to your family.
We really appreciated Jack’s performance in Sue Thomas, FBI. He is a favorite of ours. We just learned today of his death. We will always remember him.
Was watching Sue Thomas FB EYE and was intrigued with Jacks performance in this show. I researched him up today online only to see that he has passed. I would like to send my Thoughts and Prayers out to the Family of Jack Jessop and express my gratitude in being able to know him on television.
