Died:
LOCKHART, John Frederick 'Jack'

Of Wolfville, formerly Avonport, passed away peacefully, Monday, September, 4, 2017 in Valley Regional Hospital, Kentville with family at his side, following a brief fight with cancer. He remained a faithful Christian, hoping to witness to people right to the end. Jack was born on March 31, 1944 in Wolfville to the late Murray and Ellen 'Nellie' (MacIntosh) Lockhart (Avonport). Besides his parents, Jack was predeceased by son, Kerry Addison; daughters, Jacqueline Cecilia (in infancy) and Andrea Karen; sister-in-law, Jean Allen. He was a born-again Christian and former member of Avonport United Baptist Church. He served the church for a short time as leader of the boy’s youth group Sigma-C and several years on the Board of Trustees. He was founder and past president of the Avonport Men’s Club Society and former player and past president of the Valley Orthodox Softball League. Jack bowled for many years in the Hantsport Men’s Bowling League, and was a proud member of The Old Farts Club, Avonport. He was a 10year canvasser for the Heart and Stroke Foundation and he volunteered with the Red Cross at Camp Aldershot during the 1998 Kosovo refugee crisis. Jack was an electrician during most of his working years, working with several electrical contractors in the valley. After his retirement his passion became genealogy and historical data. He delighted in dowsing for unmarked graves with his cousin Walter Urban, and was delighted that through his genealogical research, he connected with his cousin, Don Lockhart, United States. His 'Tim’s runs' with his 'Best Bud' Marshall was always the highlight of his days. He was definitely a 'Jack of all Trades' and was always willing to give a hand to anyone who asked for or needed it. The family would like to thank the great staff on Med A at Valley Regional Hospital for the amazing and compassionate care they gave Jack and showed to the family. Interment will take place in Lower Horton Cemetery, Grand Pré.
