Olga and I send our deepest condolences on the loss of your uncle. I am sure he meant a great deal during his time with you and the rest of your family. It is obvious during his career he had a great impact on others. He was a man who greatly enjoyed his life and career.

To one amazing brother in law whom I lived having a conversation with. It was always something interesting which Jack talked about. Norm, his brother adored him also. When my family met him in Nfld, they just all fell in love with the actor Jack. My families from Nfld also send love and deep condolences to the families.

Jack is one of my great uncles, I never met him but I could tell he was just as good of a guy as he was an actor.
