Jack was born a twin and his brother Bernard passed away one month after his birth with pneumonia. Jack grew up recalling and missing his brother over the years and through life’s moments. Jack shared many times his love of the past as a child that grew up in Victorian times. He left this world with a happy childhood full of discovery with his cousins and 7 aunts and uncles.
Jack takes with him tremendous memories of the 2nd World War from the SAS 2nd Parachute Regiment, & The Princess Patricia Canadian Light Infantry. He will join many comrades and dear friends who have a deep understanding of war, sacrifice and courage. Jack will be reunited with Bernard and these dear souls in paradise.
