In the early 1960's Jack Naylor was the Company Sergeant Major (CSM) of D Coy 3RCR. This company met each Saturday at Wolsley Barracks, London under the command of Major R. A. Anthony MC. D Coy was made up of high school students some of which had aspirations to join the regular army as a career. Major Anthony and CSM Naylor were our role models. Both had seen service in WWII. We received almost osmotically how to soldier, how to be responsible and accountable for others. We were fortunate to be in the presence of these two men who built our elan, confidence and our positive attitudes to duty. I recently saw Jack at the funeral of Major Craig Mills, a sad moment for all of us as Craig started his military career in D Coy 3RCR and died too young. Jack was very chipper and animated at the funeral and was proud of all the officers he had worked with as kids who had gone on to army and other careers. When I was commissioned in 3RCR in 1962 and became a D Coy officer Jack was the first NCO I received a salute from. I treasure the this man's influence on me. I am better for the experience. May I extend my condolences to the family. Unfortunately I cannot attend the services in London and I am sad for that.

Company Sergeant Major Jack Naylor was an indispensable part of D Company 3 RCR. The early 1960s were wonderful dynamic times in the saturday training company which led the battalions way in many one of a kind events. A trooping of the colour, a presentation of colours, participation in airborne training exercises, participation in divisional exercises in gagetown, winter warfare exercises at ipperwash, and in providing 90% of the ncos to ipperwash summer cadet camp to name a few. Jack provided the hands on role model for all of us and the encouragement to do our very best. Over the following years he kept track of the whereabouts and careers of many of us as if we were family. In fact were family and a close one at that. Mark Anthony and Jack Naylor were our proud parents. And in turn he was much appreciated by us and will be greatly missed.

Dear Mrs. Naylor and Family, I am the 3rd daughter of Joe and Connie Johnson that lived across the street from you in 1957 on Tecumsah Street in London. My sister Barbie was killed in our driveway that year and I recall dimly the warning call from across the street from your husband Jack. Although I was only 5 years old I remember the support and comfort you and your husband gave to my Mom and Dad during that awful tragedy. Sadly, both of my parents are gone but I wanted you to know that I am thinking of you today. All my other sisters, Jo-Ann, Brenda, and Betty (whom you have never met) are well and would want me to add a God bless you to this message from them too. May you find peace in all your memories in the arms of your family. Debbie Kaiser

I can only say "Amen!" to that already written by Tom Thorne and Vince Martin. The team of Major Anthony and Company Sergeant Major Naylor was instrumental is setting many young men on the right path for lengthy and successful careers in both the Reserve and Regular force components of The Regiment. He will always be remembered and never forgotten. Pro Patria! Brian

To the family of CSM Jack Naylor my sincere condolences. I too was part of D Coy 3RCR in the early 60's and as stated by others CSM Jack Naylor along with Major Mark Anthony had an incredible positive influence on us young Saturday soldiers. Many of us continued our military service in both the Regular force and the Militia. At one time I was the DCO of 44FD ENGR SQN, Trail,BC. I did not re-badge and remain a proud member of the RCR Family. I thank Jack Naylor for that. Capt.[ret'd]

I have found some very wonderful photo's of Jack Naylor in his uniform and some wonderful photo's of the Queen and kings visit in 1939 I believe. this caused me to look for Mr. Naylor or his family. I am so proud of his service to our country. I live on Belgrave ave. just around the corner from Tecumseh, and South Collegiate. I believe Jack attended school their. I have never met this man or his family, but everything I have found about Mr. Naylor are glowing reports of his life. You all must be very very proud of him and I hope you all find some peace in knowing he was such a giving man, a loving decent man. These photo's have taken me on a trip I have enjoyed. I was sorry to find this obituary, as I will never get to meet this wonderful man, I was only 2 years too late. I send my condolences to this mans family, you will miss him very much. Of this I am sure. Bless you all. Eileen Fralick.

I also meant to mention that it is very likely my Father, WO2 Eric Howard (or Eric the Red) RCR probably served with Mr. Naylor. My Father was also Airborne. He served in WW2 but was loaned to the British Black Watch. I almost feel like I was meant to be the one who discovered the negatives of your family's life in the 60's on Tecumseh Ave. Stange as this sounds, I did not find them on Tecumseh or on Belgrave where I live at present, I found the pictures of the 1939 Queen and Kings visit, someones wedding photo's taken at the home on Tecumseh,(I think) in the 60's(with the negatives), I found them at a yard sale near Berkshire village. They were taken in Aug. 1961, I think they may be outside the house at 152 Tecumseh or maybe outside the Church but not able to see house numbers behind the wedding party. Lovely Bride and groom and family.. You can contact me at tippy2@rogers.com if these photo's have gotten lost and someone has an interest in them. The negative envelopes all say A. Naylor or Marg Naylor of 152 Tecumseh. I am going to have them redeveloped soon, as they are very interesting of the neighborhood now called Wortley Village. All the people in the photo's that are developed look like lovely people. Again I thank Mr. Naylor for his Service to our country and to his loving family I wish you all the best. Eileen Howard Fralick. Pro Patria
