GRATTAN, John “Jack” Donald -66, Pictou, passed away September 24, 2018 in the Aberdeen Hospital. Born June 24, 1952 in Diamond, NS, he was a son of the late Joseph Edward and Emily Steele (McCulloch) Grattan.

There wasn’t anything that Jack couldn’t fix, he was a true “Jack of all trades”. After retirement from Cottage Mechanical, Jack and Eric Holt were in great demand as Renovation “Specialists”. Jack enjoyed travelling, helping others plan trips, and doing research on family trees. Cremation has taken place.
