Sad news to hear of Jack's passing. I used to work for Jack and Betty at Stratford Timber & Hardware, they were very kind hearted people and well respected in the community. RIP 🙏 Lee Horton

Such a lovely man who was well known in the Stratford community. He was a good friend of my Dad’s and they had many a talk about putting the world right. Sending condolences to the family. Sarah and Ross Clements and Peter Fairclough
