He lived his childhood in Blackley and then in Middleton with his wife Pat and their 4 children: John, Mike, Jane and Simon. He and Pat went on to enjoy a large family of 8 grandchildren: Joanne, James, Beth, Jack, Lucy, Jacob, Lydia, Darci, and 5 great-grandchildren, Niamh, Emilia, Olive, Arthur and Etta. Jack had two main loves outside his family and friends: Middleton Cricket Club and Manchester City FC. Jack was a cup half full person, always positive, always optimistic. We wish to thank the team at Bluebird Care who looked after dad and mum for over five years, enabling him to live his final years at home which was what he wanted. We also wish to thank the care teams at Oldham Royal and North Manchester Hospitals - in particular the doctors and staff at ward J3 who cared for him with such kindness and respect. Rest in peace Jack- you were dearly loved by many and we felt your love in return. All enquiries to. S.Wellens & Sons, Tel; 0161.643.2677
