Jack was a very pleasant travelling companion. We are Australians who first met Jack and Sally on a 2007 trip to Antarctica. The rapport was immediate and we remained in touch, travelling together again to Norway in 2014. We saw them again when they made a brief visit to Sydney as part of a larger trip. Most recently, in 2022, we travelled with Jack, then 94, on a delightful cruise on Canada’s Rideau Canal. Jack was always friendly with fellow travellers and interested in the places we visited. In the intervening years we enjoyed his frequent emails forwarding amusing attachments he had found when trawling the internet. We miss him.
