Jack spent his early childhood years in Stonewall and moved with his family to Winnipeg. He was a graduate of Kelvin High School, a University of Manitoba graduate achieving his Master’s degree in Psychology and he undertook his PhD at the University of Toronto.

Jack was a Psychologist who worked at the Child Guidance Clinic (now called Educational Clinical Supports) and counselled many children through the years in the Winnipeg school system. He enjoyed a special camaraderie with staff at the Child Guidance Clinic for over 30 years. He was a mentor and advocate for many kids during his tenure and was a respected colleague. He also practised privately as a Psychologist in Winnipeg for a few years before retirement.

Our parents retired to British Columbia’s verdant coast on Vancouver Island. Dad conveyed his uncompromising ideals by cleverly designing the house that Jack built and fulfilling his dream of retiring with our Mom to live in Nanoose Bay, British Columbia for several years together.

Heartfelt thanks to Laura and the compassionate staff at Trillium Lodge for their special long-term care of our Dad and Mom, to Kerry and staff from Nurse Next Door for their caring and long-term companionship for our Dad.
