To the Head and Donovan families,
God bless Jackie. I was a regular visitor to the Upper Main Street, Glace Bay, " Donovan - Head compound" in my youth. Jackie's uncle, Aubrey Donovan (RCAF 203964) and the undersigned both had a career in our Air Force. Jackie's younger brother, Bobby, also served in the RCAF and he and I served a short time together at RCAF Station Centralia, ON in the spring of 1965.
All beautiful memories.
Prayers for Jackie from a proud Bay Bye.
Sincerely,
F. Xavier Mc Gillivary (1936- ) RCAF Retired, Ottawa, ON

To Lorraine and all your family
It is never easy to lose someone you love it takes time to deal with grief.
I knew Jackie when I worked at New Waterford Hospital many years ago. Jackie was a gentleman always respectful and kind. In fact he was a real credit to his profession conducting his work day in a professional manner.
He added a lot to NWCH.
As you grieve his loss may you know that there are people thinking of you.
