That was one of my father-in-law's favorite sayings. A simple phrase perhaps but also a very telling one. He was generous with his family, with his friends, with his community, with his church and with his pets (even the cats when he thought no one was watching). He wanted nothing more for you to succeed at whatever your heart desired and would do his utmost to help make it happen. I loved, admired and respected him and enjoyed making him laugh. I am so extraordinarily grateful to have had him in my life for over 25 years. His size 15 shoes will be very hard to fill but his family will certainly try to live up to his name. John Albert Pounder, best known as Jack, died surrounded by loved ones on the morning of Sept. 23 after a short battle with cancer. He was 85. Left to mourn his passing are the 22 members of his immediate family including his wife of over 60 years, Beverley; and their children John, Cathy and Mary, seven grand -children and three great-grandchildren. A funeral was held on Sept. 27 at Trinity Anglican Church in Bayfield. Interment Bayfield Cemetery.
