On June 1, 1941, Jack was born into a proud military family, a heritage that shaped much of his life. In 1972, He met the love of his life, Susana, and together as soulmates they shared an extraordinary journey for 52 years.
Jack dedicated 33 years of his life to serving with communications for the Canadian Armed Forces. His career took him around the world, and through his work, he experienced diverse cultures and built lasting friendships. After retiring as a Warrant Officer from the military in 1992, Jack found joy in a simpler life, working at a pet store, where his love for animals shone through.
