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

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.
