Dear Jeanette and family,
I was saddened to learn of the passing of Jack. He and his brothers were childhood friends of myself and my brother, Donald. Jack’s parents were also friends of my parents, Gerald and Janet Vander Velde. I have fond memories of growing up in the Dalemead community. One such memory is that of a Talent Show in the Dalemead Hall. It was “command” performance (my dad commanded it) in which the Newton boys, my brother, my dad and myself would play a couple of tunes between the tap dancers and poetry readers. As I recall, Jack was the violin player. Good times.
