Passed away quietly with family by his side at Bradford Valley Care Community on Wednesday November 29, 2023 at the age of 82 years.

Loving husband of 56 years to Jean (nee Brown).

Lovingly remembered by his brothers Glenn and Rod and his sisters-in-law Pat Crawford, Betty Brown and Barb Hooper.

A fun and loving uncle, Uncle Jay (Hoop) will always hold a particularly special place in the hearts of his many nieces, nephews, great-nieces and great-nephews.

They will forever be in awe of his ability to regularly earn Turkey of the Year Award at the Brown/Clark family Thanksgivings. His pranks, frequent trips for ice cream and lessons about the farm and life will never be forgotten.

A well-respected educator, he will be fondly remembered by former colleagues and students from Thornlea, Thornhill, Stouffville and Dr. G. W. Williams Secondary Schools.

A truly great friend and neighbour who was always willing to help, the 5th Concession will not be the same without him.

Loved and missed, but grateful that he, a man of faith, is at peace.

A

memorial service will be held at Low & Low Funeral Home, 23 Main Street South, Uxbridge on Wednesday December 6, 2023 at 1:00 PM with visitation to commence at 11:00 AM. Reception to follow in the fellowship lounge of the funeral home.

As expressions of sympathy, memorial donations to the charity of your choice would be appreciated by the family.
