Jack was a lovely man and extremely proud of his family

We remember Jack,Helen and family as neighbours when we moved to 8 Perotti St back in 1977.Always tried to look them up after when back in town after we had moved on.
So it was with much sorrow we learned of Jack’s passing .87 is a great innings even if the most recent years have been tough.
Please accept our condolences.
Bev,Gary Boucher and family.
To Helen and family……I remember Jack as the best ever Father Christmas. What a dear man ..oh so patient and kind with the children. Enjoyed many a laugh and “stolen” lollies in his company and Christmas in store was never the same after “Santa” retired.
I am so saddened to hear of Jacks passing. My sincerest and most heartfelt sympathy goes out to you all.
RIP “Santy”
