John “Jack” David Lafferty
1935-2019
John “Jack” David Lafferty, Blomidon. It is with
profound sadness that we, the family, announce the passing of our
beloved father, husband and grand-papa, Jack, age 84, on September 8,
2019, in the Valley Regional Hospital, after a short but courageous
battle with cancer. Born in Belleville, ON, he was the eldest son of
Joyce (Rosevear) and James Edward Lafferty. Jack served as a navigator
in the Canadian Armed Forces. His passion for travel led he and his
wife to visit many places in Europe and once retired, spending winters
in the south of France; hiking in the Vaucluse gave him great joy. He
loved the Canadian arctic as well, having spent many hours flying over
our Canadian coastal waters while serving in the military. A kind and
gentle man, he loved spending time with his grandchildren and the many
family pets throughout his life. Jack was a loving and devoted husband
and father who always put his family first. He will be dearly missed.
He leaves behind his wife, Claudette (Chevarie); three daughters,
Danielle (René Roy), Belgium; Sabina (Serge Vanasse),
Aylmer, QC; Christianne (Alan Hartley), Iqaluit, Nunavut;
grandchildren, Arianne, Célian and Nicholas Roy;
Stéfane, Daniel, Mathieu (Erin Euberig) Vanasse; Jasmine
Lafferty-Hartley; sister, Cheryl (Jacques Comtois), Montreal; brother,
Gary, Belleville, ON; nieces, Lisa Lachance, Halifax, Vanessa Comtois,
Montreal; nephew, Matthew Comtois, Chicoutimi; and the loving Chevarie
family in New Brunswick. Following the family wishes, there will be no
visitation or funeral service. A blessing will be performed at a
private family burial in the Blomidon Cemetery, Houston’s
Beach. The family wishes to thank the doctors and staff of
the hospital for the excellent care he received. Donations in memory
may be made to the Valley Regional Hospital Foundation. Funeral
arrangements have been entrusted to the White Family Funeral Home and
Cremation Services, Kentville.
