Rest in peace Jack !! And condolences to Molly and the wider family Jack was a much valued boss and mentor of mine at South Auckland Motors in 1990/91 …. Jacks enquiring mind, vast experience and all round wisdom meant that when he spoke I listened and carefully ! Due a health issue I’m unable to be at the service in person but will tune into the live stream … With best wishes from all of the South Auckland Motors team Matthew Newman

Lots of love to you Molly And Family. Jack always brought so much light into the lives of those around him. He will be missed by many.❤️
Love to Molly and all the family in the loss of a much loved and respected family icon. Always regarded as a true gentleman who invited respect as a result of his honesty and warm demeanour. In addition to family memories come (Carol) memories of the Jury family regarding Jack (during 1950-1960) as the most trustworthy professional `Ford ever had´. Blessings to you all. Rodney & Carol Hall & Family
A real gentleman and such a wonderful person to have a wise and relaxed conversation with during his time here in Orewa.Rest in Peace Jack, and condolences to Molly and all family
