Jack was the sort of man we would all like to be.moderate when moderation would serve and passionate when the need arose. Jack is that rare breed of politician, I say “is” rather than was as the influence remains, who actually cares a great deal about the people he worked with and for. It’s a talent he share with you Olivia.
My 8 year old Canadian born granddaughter Paige, who makes her home in So Cal, USA with her parents and brother, watched Jack’s funeral with me today. She was so moved by the music and speeches that she said, “Grama, I wish I knew Jack.”
Indeed Paige, indeed.
What a champion Jack was. When he came to power, I started voting NDP. I live on Vancouver Island, where he visited numerous times. He truly blessed all of us, the common people of our great country, Canada. May his memory live on forever. My sincere sympathy to all of you.
Sincerely,
Judi Gedcke and Paige Fike
