Avis de décès de John-Alexander Inglis

INGLIS, John (Jack) Alexander January 20, 1921 - February 24, 2011 It is with great sadness we announce the passing of Dad, Grampa, Jack. Born and raised in Victoria, BC. Jack was an avid sports enthusiast excelling in all sports but particularly tennis, golf, basketball and swimming. He would often say that when he was young, he and his friend would hop on their bikes with golf clubs on their backs, cycle 10 miles and play 36 holes of golf. Jack started what would be a lifelong career in the electrical distribution business in Victoria, briefly interrupted by service with the RCAF during the second world war. After the service, he moved to Vancouver where he worked for the Northern Electric Company and met his wife of 41 years, Marjorie (Marge). During his 37 year career with Northern Electric, they were transferred many times throughout BC (sometimes twice to the same town) and with each move, plus their involvement with the Kinsmen's, came many lasting friendships. They travelled often on golf holidays with many of the friends they met over the years. Jack was predeceased by Marge in 1987, his brother, Bill, in 1969 and sister, Marion, in 1994. Jack leaves behind son Mark (Corinne), grandchildren, Chelsea, Carly (Jeff), Rako and great granddaughter Halen. Services will be held @ 2:00 PM on March 3rd at the United Church, 4960 48th Avenue in Ladner. Refreshments to follow. In lieu of flowers, it was Jack's wish that contributions be made to the Canadian Cancer Society.
