A lovely man who had time for everyone, a great loss.
Sadly missed.

Belated condolences. When I think of Jack I feel like a probationary cop again....he was a father figure to many of us. My memories are of his warm smile and hearty laugh.

There is not much we miss about the U.K., but some of the people who remain there are often in our thoughts and conversations. Jack, you were one who always brought a smile with your memory and we looked forward to your threatened motorcycle ride through N.Z., to give us some updated chuckles and anecdotes.

Nevertheless, we will continue to recall your irascible character and Northern Bloke ways which drew people to you wherever you were, and no doubt continues to do so wherever you are.

I remember all the times you passed thru the front desk at Rochale PS on you way to your office, shouting something outrageous on the way and leaving us to pick up the pieces. Jack, my memories are all of your wit, mischief and humanity. God Bless.

A big guy with an even bigger heart.Always cheery, displaying that wonderful smile and laugh. We will miss you Jack RIP

A trusted and honest guy. RIP my friend.

To say we laughed and had good times in our early days as police officers is an understatement. If anyone of those people read this just remember who was at the centre of most of it. So many tales to tell and so many dear memories. Thanks Jack you made it easier Julian

Forever in my heart and my memory.

From both the Blue Knights and Rochdale IPA, and from anyone who knew Jack, please accept our condolences.

Jack, thoughtful, caring and kind, with the biggest heart .. we still talk about the night we spent with you in the Bottom Club followed the next morning by a fry up ! We cherish our happy memories of you of which there are many. A true gentleman. Our thoughts are with your family. Till we meet again keep smiling.
