Farewell Jack, you have done so much to keep the history of Ward and the Flaxbourne alive for all of us. You will be sorely missed by your family and friends, but will remain forever in our thoughts.

Condolences to Lorna and all Jacks families. A true gentleman and someone to inspire you and also have a chuckle with. Great memory and memories of times shared. One of those not so many people one encounters in life that you can measure oneself against. I will miss you being about Jack but will be easy to still hear your advice or chuckles in my mind always. Not sure if you will have time to rest in heaven meeting up with your past mates and many past pets. Doing my best to master a TT backhand style like yours. I can imagine you backhand driving down past St Peter´s port hand side to hit the open gate button.
Love to you my friend until we hopefully meet again cheers Dennis B

Rest in peace Jack
