To Marie, Andrew and Karen: Please accept my condolences at the passing of Jack, a fine gentleman that I only knew briefly. I still remember the wonderful Christmas that I was able to spend with Jack and Marie many years ago when, for the first time, I was able to learn more about Jack and his business and his home life. I will miss him as I am sure that we all will.

Condolences to Marie, Karen & Andy, Kevin & Pat and Jack's grandchildren and extended family. Jack was a gentleman in every way. Always gracious, thoughtful and kind he exemplified the best of Christian values and humanity. I'm sure he touched many over his long life, as he did Heather and I, and will live on in our hearts. "Well done, good and faithful servant! "

My thoughts and prayers are with Marie, and all of Jack's family at this time. I have had a number of memories of Jack come to my mind since I heard of his passing. The first is that Jack epitomized the term "gentleman." He was always gracious and kindly - something we could use more of in these times. I can almost imagine his gentle laugh. The second is that he called on at least two generations of my family in the funeral profession. God bless you Jack on your journey, and God bless your family in their loss.

I have many fond memories of "Gentlemen Jack Cleary" from my early days in this profession. Statesmen like Jack Cleary represented the mentors in our profession that young arrivals sought to emulate. Everyone that ever had anything to do with Jack knew he was a man of integrity, professionalism, and a lot of style. He is truly the kind of person that you knew made the world a better place. I miss him and offer my sincere condolences to his family.

Mr. Cleary often visited families at the firm I worked for in London. Few Funeral Directors left a greater impression on me as a young man then Jack. He was always professional, poised, and nearly a decade later I can still vividly picture his black and white houndstooth jacket, and flawlessly shone shoes. Jack served and mentored so many. My sincere condolences to his family.

I know I'm being repetitive, but the word 'gentleman' was so richly deserved by Jack! He was a strong and supportive presence in my life as a young funeral director, and I owe much to this fine man! Always happy and smiling, he was truly an inspiration and a welcome face anywhere you would meet him! Rest well, Jack!

To the Cleary Family, My condolences to you. My first and lasting contact with Jack when I was a beginning student. I had been given a task by my employer and I was way over my head and desperately needing assistance, when in walked this well dressed and kindly gentleman. To make it short, Jack come to my assistance and helped me out of my dilemma. Further more, my situation and embarrassment was never shared. For many years, we had an ongoing cordial business relationship. Always a gentleman, dependable and honest, he was a great ambassador for his chosen career in Funeral Service. Thank you Jack.

Jack was one of those wonderful suppliers that I always looked forward to his visits. He always had a kind word of support and was great at sharing experiences from the past. His being always present at the golf events were a special time. We stop at this time to remember the significance of his life.

I have many wonderful memories of Jack from the days when he made his call to us in Sarnia. A truer gentleman would be hard to find. We would always go to the old Embassy restaurant for coffee and conversations about what was going on in the profession. If he noticed another travelers car in the parking lot when he arrived, Jack would always wait in the car until that salesman left. That's class. My condolences to you all.

Marie and Family: I was saddened to learn of Jack's passing. My dad, Charlie, and Jack were very good friends. They played many rounds of golf together and spent hundreds of hours around the poker table. My father had great respect for Jack and derived great pleasure from their camaraderie. May Jack rest in peace.
