He was a member of Minerva Masonic Lodge.
Mr. Jack was very fond of music, playing the violin well. He was a member of the Jack orchestra which had filled many engagements in Simcoe and York counties their services being in great demand. In 1931 he was awarded the prize in the old time fiddler's competition at the Canadian National Exhibition.
Of the most hospitable, genial nature, Mr. Jack had a host of friends by whom he will long be held in kindly remembrance.
In 1892, in Toronto, Mr. Jack married Edith Elizabeth Dalby, who survives with the following family: Wilfrid O., Hamilton; Arthur B., Lefroy; Kenneth, at home; Mrs. Basil Robert (Hazel) of Bermuda; who has been home this winter; Mabel and Norma of Toronto; also four grandchildren.

Sinclair, who also took the committal service at the Sixth Line Cemetery, where stands the Kildonan Cross erected in memory of the Dalhousie Settlers which included the parents of Mr. Jack.
