It is with a heavy heart that we learn of Jack’s passing. He was for all intense of purpose like a father to me or sometimes a mischievous uncle! We shared many laughs and a love for Heather and a mutual frustration with golf. He is teeing off upstairs right now I suppose. Tom Obradovich

Our condolences to the Hurst family on their loss of Jack He was a long time friend and business partner of my grandfather Murray Wilson and an "uncle" to my father, brother and myself. I remember working with Jack at multiple boat shows and he was always the spotlight of the show for so many people. Everyone working there knew his name. He will be sadly missed. Our thought are with you, The Wilson Family - Central Outboard Marine

Dear Dolena, and the families of Jack, please accept our deepest sympathy and condolences. Our band "Traces" were so honoured and thrilled to have been invited to come to Thornhill by you and Jack - to perform at your wedding, and couple of other fun engagements. It was very meaningful to have you and Jack as fans of the music and to share that with us. By all counts Jack made it a point to enjoy and share many things in your great life together. We are thinking of you at this time. Sincerely, Dale and Nancy Morgan.

Lynn and I send our sincere condolences to Dolena and the family and to his network of friends. Jack would join us for breakfast at Highland on Wednesdays and always had a story to share. One was of his days as the air to air photographer, including pictures and he wore the jacket emblazoned with patches. A great memory he shared. Always had a smile for you too and a kind word.

On behalf of The Hale's (Ray and Marilyn, Brad and Joanne), please accept our deepest sympathies. My father, Ray, knew Jack through his earliest days in the marine industry that I recall being Brydon Brass and Grew Boats, and later on EZ Loader, etc. He was always a good friend to my father (parents), and always seemed bigger than life. In the mid-70s, we had considered moving Klienburg when Jack called dad to consider a house on the same court as Jack It appears Jack lived a full and wonderful life, with many around him whom he loved. My/our deepest sympathies to you

My fondest memory is watching Uncle Jack and grandpa sharing stories and the big belly laughs that usually followed those stories.

My most cherished memory of my Uncle Jack is having the great honour of dancing with him at my wedding. He was an awesome man and one that I looked up to and highly respected. I will miss him so very much. I'm so very sorry for your loss Aunt Dee.

My condolences to Dolena and the family. Jack hired me at Do It as my first sales job. I’ll forever be grateful to him for teaching me to be a proper salesman and the great memories of a first job. He also gave me my first set of golf clubs! RIP Jack.
