Mom and I are holding ever so close all our cherished memories of Hammy, now that he has left us, but are comforted to know that Dad was surely waiting to greet him with pickled eggs, pepperoni, and his favourite beverage on the rocks. Sitting side by side, as they always did, drinks in hand, they would have drifted into easy conversation and laughter- as beloved childhood friends do, withDad ever so eager to catch up on the last five years since they parted.

Hammy, sleep in the blessed peace you so well deserve and know how much we adored you.

High Flight

Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of earth,
And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;
Sunward I've climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth
Of sun-split clouds, --and done a hundred things
You have not dreamed of --Wheeled and soared and swung
High in the sunlit silence. Hov'ring there
I've chased the shouting wind along, and flung
My eager craft through footless halls of air...
Up, up the long, delirious, burning blue
I've topped the wind-swept heights with easy grace
Where never lark or even eagle flew --
And, while with silent lifting mind I've trod
The high untrespassed sanctity of space,
Put out my hand, and touched the face of God.

Some people bring light to the world just by being in it.
I'll miss you Jack.

Rest In Peace Jack. I will remember the many ‘Woodchoppers Balls’ I attended at Morton’s cottage with Bob, dad, you, Jimmy and his dad and Dave - weekends filled with penny ante poker, pickled eggs, spicy pepperoni and occasionally some wood chopping. I’ll also fondly remember your boat up at Lefroy Yacht Club when you’d pilot it out onto the lake then sit back with my parents having a drink on the deck while I was left as skipper - “just drive around and dont hit land or other boats” - pretty heady stuff for a little kid, thanks!!
