Obituary 
Tarbutt, John "Jack"

It is with sadness that we announce the passing of Jack Tarbutt at the age of 91 years. Dear and loving husband to Janet for more than 70 years. Wonderful father to Rick (Lois), Val Jolley (Ray), Jim (Pauline Thompson), Laura Hyk (Jim) and Lisa. Loving Grandpa to Jennifer Diguer (Dave), Danielle (Dave Macdonald), Chris Hyk (Dezaray Lilliman) and Michael. Great Grandpa to Justin and Matthew Diguer. He is survived by his sister Marie Galvin.

Jack's accomplishments were many. He served in the Royal Canadian Navy on the HMCS Lindsay during WWII. He was a long-standing member of Trinity United Church, Hannon. Jack was a past Master of the Harmony Masonic Lodge in Binbrook. For many years, he was the Business Manager and President of Local 18 Carpenters' Union as well as the President of the Ontario Council of Carpenters. Jack served as President of the Hamilton & District Labour Council. He was also a former board member of the Hamilton-Burlington United Way.

Many thanks to the wonderfully kind and caring staff at the Villages of Wentworth Heights. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Trinity United Church, Wesley Centre, The Salvation Army or a charity of your choice. Please sign the online Book of Condolences at www.baygardens.ca

We will all miss you, but your infectious smile and sense of caring will live on in each of us!"

Dear Val and family,
Remembering you and your family at this time. Prayers and hopes for pleasant memories of your Dad.
A long time ago, he and your Mother welcomed us into their home to celebrate our high school graduation. Thank you for that night.
Take care, Wendy Forgrave Spangenberger

Remembering an evening spent on the deck enjoying conversation and fresh baked lasagna. A very special man that I am sure will be sorely missed. My condolences to his family.
