Jack Simpson

May 2, 1938 - November 5, 2018

Jack has passed into the loving arms of God on Monday November 5th, 2018 due to the complications of Alzheimer’s disease after a heroic battle. Jack was predeceased by his loving mother and father Marion (née Chase) and George Wilbert Simpson, and by his siblings Grant, James and Dianne. He will be greatly missed by his close companion Suzanne Paterson, and by his niece Janice Jefferies (Larry), and their children Susan, Robert and Leanne. Jack had many wonderful cousins who are too numerous to mention. Each was a great comfort to Jack all of his life. Life-long friends Tom Conley (Katie) and Bert Brown (Bonnie) remained a big part of his life despite the physical distance between them. Jack and his parents immigrated to the United States from Canada when Jack was 13 years old settling near Los Angeles where he attended Morning Side High School in Inglewood California. He got a job on the school newspaper which led to a position on the sports desk on the L.A. Times. After his retirement in 1993, Jack moved back to Canada and has charmed everyone he has since met. He loved going to church – first to The Church of the Nazarene in Orkney and then to New Hope Christian Centre in Dundas. Special thanks to Pastors Margaret and Karl deVries, Pastor Dove and wife Marianne, Personal Support Worker Damien and the nurses, doctors and specialists on the 6th floor CTU North at St. Joseph’s Hospital. Cremation has taken place. A Memorial Service will be held at New Hope Christian Centre, 176 8 Highway, Dundas, ON L9H 5E1 on Sunday November 18, 2018 at 2 p.m. In lieu of flowers, a donation to the Alzheimer’s Society of Canada would be greatly appreciated. “One of God’s favorites has gone on home” http://alzheimer.ca/en/Home/Get-involved/Ways-to-donate
