  6. Wonderful memories of Jack from his days at Terang. A truly remarkable gentleman from Brim in the Mallee he touched so many people on his journey, from farming at Dalvui Lane and training the Champion 2yo Rhononite, to running the Milk Bar commonly known as Church's, old time dancing to indoor bowls. The love of his life was his family Elaine his children Glenice, Wendy, Geoff, Faye and their partners and grandchildren, and a wonderful friend of Nancye. RIP Jack.
