splashhopper Posted December 29, 2010 Report Share Posted December 29, 2010 My condolences, I never knew him personally but my thoughts are with you & his family. I'm in a similar situation right now, I lost a cousin of mine on Friday. You may have heard it on the news. He was alone at his cottage in Bracebridge when it went up in flames at 3am. He battled cancer for 3 years and was finally free of it this fall. He was happy again and to have this happen on Christmas Eve was a nightmare. Christmas felt different this year. Sorry for your loss too Governator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rattletrap2 Posted December 29, 2010 Report Share Posted December 29, 2010 Thanks Beans. So sorry to read of Nanook's passing. He certainly did fight long and hard. My condolences to his family. RIP Jack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aplumma Posted December 29, 2010 Report Share Posted December 29, 2010 Jackie I am so sorry to hear that Jack has passed. I am grateful that he had Christmas with his family and loved ones around him.While his body has passed on he will live in the hearts of all he has touched. I did not get as much time with him as I wanted but the time I did get is very precious to me. I have one of his carvings of a unicorn and it brings a smile to everyones face that gets to see it and the story of the man who's talent turned a piece of wood into a mythical horse. While we grieve for the loss of the ability to make more memories with Jack we also should realize that the ones we all have have become even more precious to us. May all of our prayers light the way for his Journey into the Lords hands and one day to be reunited with our friends. Art Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spiel Posted December 30, 2010 Report Share Posted December 30, 2010 Please accept my sincerest condolences Jackie. I had only ever met Jack once at Lakair and we had chatted occasionally about our getting there again so we could expand on our friendship. I'm deeply saddened that this will never come to pass. I'm somewhat consoled knowing that he was able to be at home for Christmas with you, I'm sure it was exactly what he had been hoping for. God bless you Jack.

Ron Posted December 30, 2010 Report Share Posted December 30, 2010 This is just terrible news, however, like you said Norm, he got to enjoy a few days over Christmas at home with his family. Nanook will now be able to out fish you from the skies above. He will be looking over all of us now and hopefully, the shavings from his carvings will land on us as rain and snow.
