Jack recently celebrated his 80th birthday, 34 years as Union Branch Secretary and 51 years of membership of the T&G.  The Lincoln District was proud and honoured to pay tribute to him at that time, making a presentation to him from the Union's Regional Committee.

 

Jack's unstinting service to the Union locally is without equal and his contribution to the Newark community - through the Royal Air Force Association, the Union and any number of other means - will be greatly missed.

 

Jack was unquestionably one of the giants who made the T&G the great union that it is today.
