Obituary of Jack Hasick

Jack Hasick, beloved husband of Nancy of Calgary, passed away peacefully on Friday, November 7, 2008, surrounded by his family at the Southwood Hospice, at the age of 84 years. Jack was born in Hamiota, Manitoba. He moved to Winnipeg where he began his 50+ year career in the HVAC/R industry. With 20 years in the corporate world and 30 plus with his own agency, Jack was involved with many industry related organizations such as the Refrigeration Service Engineers Society, where he became International President, and as a leading fund raiser for the SAIT Polytechnic – Mechanical Trades program. In addition to his business network, Jack volunteered for Heart to Heart – a cardiac care support group – and was a member of Probus. True to his giving nature, Jack could always be found helping out on various projects and committees at the churches he supported over the years. Jack was a dedicated family man, who always had time to support his sons and grandchildren in their many activities, despite the hectic demands of his business commitments. Jack is survived by his loving wife Nancy; son Murray (Teresa) and their son Colin, son Gordon (Janet Major), and their children Walter, Aidan, and Sasha. A Celebration of Life for Jack will be held at McDougall United Church (8516 Athabasca Street S.E.) on Wednesday, November 12, 2008 at 1:30 p.m. If friends so desire, memorial tributes may be made directly to SAIT Polytechnic – Jack Hasick Endowment.
