Duggan, (Jack) John Richard; The family of Jack Duggan sadly announce his passing at the age of 87 at Oakville Trafalgar Memorial Hospital on Tuesday November 27, 2007 with his family at his side. Jack was the devoted husband of Jenny who predeceased him on May 18, 2007. Jack’s illness robbed him of so much, but not his recognition of, or his love for his darling Fina (Jenny).

He delighted his great grandchildren Audrey and Colin Willson, Rachel and Claire Atkinson, and new baby Charlotte Herrmann. Jack was a very proud Canadian and served his community well in many ways beginning with the 5th Field Ambulance Regiment in WWII. He was a life member of the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 114 and served as Poppy Chairman for many years. He was a Lorne Scots cadet leader, minor hockey and basketball coach and trainer.
