LANDRY, John Francis "Jack" - Age 77 years of Port Hawkesbury, passed away peacefully surrounded by his family in the Aberdeen Hospital, New Glasgow, on Monday, July 30th, 2018.

Jack volunteered many years to Strait Area Minor Hockey Association. He enjoyed a good crib game, was an avid bowler, enjoyed many rounds of golf, and loved his Blue Jays and Maple Leafs.
