    A great character always up for a chat and a laugh. Fond memories of the High St years when Jacky called in or shared holidays down by the beach and racing events in Melbourne. And many other good times together,Jacky was a big part of the ‘Brennan’
    family for a lot of years.

  7. Dear Shirley, Paul, Leanne & Family our deepest sympathy.
    We are so sorry that we cannot attend and say farewell to Jackie with you.
    Jackie had a wonderful life and struck gold when he met Shirley, he adored her
    and they enjoyed wonderful times together.
    From my early days as a child, I was fascinated by Uncle Jack and absolutely loved
    seeing him and Norm dressed in their kilts playing in the Pipe Band.
    He was a friend to everyone and to everyone a friend.
    A life well lived – Gentleman Jack – Rest in Peace

  8. Awww we will miss our awesome neighbour Jack. For many years Jack and I would see who could have the loudest music. I think the bagpipes won hands down. Such a gentleman and kind hearted man, we will miss your visits in your buggy. Rest In Peace Jack. Love to Shirley and the family.
    Love always Robyn, Bev & John Payne.
