One of the many visits to England and in the typical family gathering a party was had at the pub.
Uncle Jack was a wonderful man always wanting to talk about anything and everything and so interested in what you had to say. Will be dearly missed by us all xxx
Jack was a 100% one of life’s good guys. I loved my annual visit, spending time with Jack was always a pleasure. He was such a funny and kind man, time with Jack was never dull, he’s a great story teller, intelligent and most of all good fun. Family was very important to Jack, I loved how he could make Janet; my sister laugh out loud. Jack always made me feel welcome, I always feel like I’m coming home when I visit.
I felt that I had a great pal in Jack during my visits and I’m sure Janet sometimes felt I was his partner in crime lol.
I love you very much Jack and I will miss you, sleep easy xxxxxx
Jack, Brenda and Steve Bowen. Looks like a fun time xx
I was blessed to have worked with Jack at Gamburgs for several years. It was a pleasure talking to him about his family trips and sharing his adventures. I will remember him as an honest and fair man who stood for what he believes.
He would tell me the new word or quote of the day and it was a challenge to match his the next day. We also greeted each other as "Hello Jack" and "Hello Lynne" in the Seinfeld
"Hello Neuman" voice.
Jack was a man of character and will be greatly missed. My prayers and hugs to his family.
Jack always made us feel welcome every time we came to visit .... ..He will be greatly missed by everyone .. My heart breaks for the family .. love to all
Such a wonderful person. I always thought of him as pretty much the kind of man all men should emulate. From when I first met him to my parents 50th Wedding Anniversary. I found a couple of cool old photos in my mums albums (Brenda). I hope the phots post OK, that is a seriously cool tash Jack!
Grandad was the template for which I choose to model my life. I have managed to always fall just shy of the mountain top upon which he stood. The memories of growing up with him and Nan are more dear to me than anything. They are what has molded me and shown a light on a very dark childhood. When life seemed like it would be nothing but bad experiences and poor treatment, the summer would arrive. There would be Nan waiting on the porch with a giant smile and an even bigger hug. After entering the house and being reminded to remove my shoes, I would see grandad sitting on his favorite chair with a book, the newspaper, or a wide open mouth snoring. That is where my peace was at, protected by a true goliath, My Grandad.
The kindness and patient he showed with me and Steph(my sister) was world class. Always quick to offer advice or guidance and equally as fast with a laugh. He would come home from work and make time to sit down to eat dinner and ask about our day, knowing we just tried to drive Nan crazy. I remember when Grandad decided to lose weight and get healthy, probably under the advice of Nan. He did not like this, but he understood the importance of his task. When we would visit in the summer, he would make it a point to take me out to the movies, just the guys. In return, I would "twist" his arm to get some Taco Bell. He also told me to never tell Nan. Sorry you had to find out this way Nan, HaHa.
There will never be words to explain the impact that he had on me. I am not a person to be moved to tears, but for such a Great man, I have shed my fair share. I could not have asked for a better person to look up to or idolize. I love you Grandad and I will look forward to our next conversation one day. Hold me a seat in heaven. We will look after your beautiful bride, Nan.
Love your Grandson,
Jason Nelson
Love you always Grandad!!! Grateful for all the wise words and life lessons!!
Love you Nan! I’m so sorry for your loss and cannot wait to hug you!
