Jack (John) McDowell

Suddenly on April 25, 2019, at his cottage in Ponemah, Jack passed away peacefully.

Jack is survived by his loving husband Ian Livingstone; daughter Nancy McDowell-Kok and her husband Dave; son-in-law Dave and their children Steven and Sarah; Ian’s daughter Sheila Kellington, her husband Earl and their son James. He will be missed by many friends and extended family as well.

Jack had several positions in his career, finally retiring from the federal government after 28 years of service. Music was very important to Jack. He sang for 37 years with the S.P.E.B.S.Q.S.A (Barbershop Harmony Society) and then with the Bison’s Men’s Chorus for 27 years. He most recently enjoyed singing with the Alleluia Singers from Crescent Fort Rouge United Church.

Jack and Ian loved to travel; in their 29 years together they took over 60 trips and had just returned from Florida. Their favorite destinations were Hawaii, Florida, and England.

A memorial service will be held on Thursday, May 9 at 2:00 p.m., at Crescent Fort Rouge United Church, 525 Wardlaw Ave, with a reception to follow. A private family interment will be held prior to the service.

In lieu of flowers, if friends so desire, donations may be made to the Elevator Fund at Crescent Fort Rouge United Church.
