Passing - Howie Jackson

Howard Edward Jackson (Howie) passed away at Langley Hospice on July 26th, 2011 after having fought a good fight with 2 types of Cancer. Carol his wife of 50 years was with him when he passed peacefully. He leaves Carol and Sons Ross
and Kevin and their families including the daughters of Rod (who passed away in September 2010) to carry on and remember him with love.

Howie joined the Navy in May of 1960 and retired in Masset in 1985. He was in Inuvik, Kingston, Moncton, Gander, Masset and of course Alert.

He went on to fish commercially for 2 years and then he and Carol started a Picture framing business, first in Masset and then in
New Westminster and finally in Cloverdale, BC. Cobblestone Gallery was well known in this area and after closing the store, it was
time to travel. Going across Canada to attend the reunion in Moncton was the highlight of their retirement for soon after Howie
had to have a heart bypass and after recovering and planning a trip to Texas he was diagnosed with advanced Colorectal Cancer.

Howie will truly be missed by his many friends but a Celebration of Life will be held August 7th at 1 p.m. at the Guildford Golf and
Country Club in Surrey. Carol and boys hope you will send messages that we can read at the celebration. It would be such an
honour to our family as we have always felt the 291r s was our FAMILY.

If people are interested we ask that you consider donating your eyes at your death. (Before would not be a good idea!)

Our other wish is for donations in Howie's name to:
The Langley Hospice Society
20660 48th Ave.,
Langley, BC V3A 3L6


I do not have words to express how wonderful the whole staff, nurses, Doctors, volunteers and even the cleaning staff were.
They were all "angels" and helped make Howie and my journey easier and filled with loving kindness.


Thank you for your years of friendship

Carol
