Jack Mayfield
With sadness we announce the passing of Jack Mayfield,
Kentville, at home on July 25, 2020. Jack was born in Cincinnati, Ohio
to John Maifeld and Eileen (Dillon) Maifeld. His family lived in New
York City before moving to Massachusetts where he lived until moving
to Nova Scotia. Jack went to school in Lynn, MA and then went to
Northeastern University where he received a degree in mechanical
engineering. Jack worked with several companies throughout the years,
including the Dynatech Corporation, North American Phillips and Mobil
Solar Energy using his engineering skills to develop new innovations
with the companies. In 1988, Jack retired from engineering and started
his own tour company, Jack Mayfield Tours, giving day long tours of
Boston in a fifteen-passenger sightseeing van. His passion was to do
tours that placed an emphasis on Boston history and culture and were
very popular. He loved meeting his “tour people” that
included well known movie stars and politicians as well as tourists
from all over the world. Jack, and his wife Corrine, were married in
Beverly, Massachusetts, and they continued their across-the-border
marriage for several years until Jack retired from his touring
business and moved to Nova Scotia as a permanent resident. Jack loved
music, was especially fond of old movies, and liked to collect writing
instruments. He received great enjoyment from making things and would
spend hours creating new ideas that he would work on to develop. Jack
was predeceased by his parents and by his sister, Marlene. Those who
are left to lovingly remember him are his wife, Corrine Langley
Mayfield, Kentville; son, Scott Maifeld, Bronx, New York;
stepchildren, Jeff Simpson, London, UK; Staff Sargent David Simpson,
Yarmouth, NS; Vicky Simpson, Fredericton, NB; Matthew Simpson, New
Westminster, BC; and Kristy Simpson, Kentville, NS. Jack is also
missed by Daisy, his fur friend. Corrine wishes to thank the VON
caregivers, the palliative care team and the many doctors and nurses
for their kindness, compassion and professional care for Jack in his
declining health. Special thanks to our family friend, Sandra Weir,
for her support and assistance. A private graveside service will be
held at a later date. Donations in memory of Jack Mayfield may be made
to the Canadian Cancer Society. Funeral arrangements have been
entrusted to the White Family Funeral Home and Cremation Services,
Kentville
