My sincere condolences to the Gross Family ;
Having first met Jack when I had my Texaco Sevice Station in Grimsby , He was then Vice President of Firestone Stone Canada , He always liked my huge display of Firestone tires and the latest posters displaying Firestones newest tires always properly displayed ! He was always one of my best gas customers
Then several years later I went to work for Jack " and Son John " in St Catharines At there own Firestone Service Center as a Mechanic a very good place to work - always with the latest up to date equipment and excellent training
Jack was a person who commanded respect and Authority but always very fair.
You alway knew where you stood with Jack, he was a solution person !
Great Man to work for as well as his Son John who Jack trained well.
Jack was always very concerned about His Family they came first , He looked after them Well, and towards. The they looked after Him very Well!
He will be missed by many !

My wife Lee and my sisters Luana and Sylvia join with me in passing on our sincere condolences to you on the death of your father; our beloved Uncle Jack. We know for a fact that your Dad was one of our Dad's dearest and closes friends. The experiences they had together in the war including D-Day formed a very strong friendship which our Dad treasured for the rest of his life. It also formed a friendship between our two families. As you know I was named for him which I always considered a real honour. When he came to Calgary every few years on business trips he always came to our place for dinner which we enjoyed. My sisters and I especially recall the time all our family stayed with all your family at the cottage for a whole week. You are all in our thoughts and prayer at this time. Much Love The Patterson Family

My heartfelt sympathies are extended to your family upon the passing of a true "gentle" man. It was always an honour and privilege to make beautiful music with Jack at the Day Away program. It wasn't too long ago that he sang a solo of "The Tennessee Waltz" and it still brought tears to my eyes. Go peacefully to the Heavenly Choir, Jack.
