For years, Jack and Jo loved to travel far and wide, especially in their motorhome, often with their dear friends Bill and Maxenne Otton. Jack was all about his beloved hometown of Leamington, and loved to visit Point Pelee.

Jack was a longtime member of Erie Shores Golf & Country Club, and an avid and faithful fan of both the Toronto Maple Leafs and Toronto Blue Jays.
