Many precious memories flood my heart when thinking of Jack … his inspiring ministry, his warm smile, his enjoyable humor. We are richer because he passed our way.
Jack truly had the heart of a Shepherd. He will be greatly missed. Sincere condolences to all the family with love.
“Jack Price & Colin Brodie with Ted & Bernice Thune in Calgary, AB – 1976.
The influence Jack had on my life was profound. His life flowed with love and compassion. His love for souls one can’t even explain to others — one has to be in his “field”, to understand. Jack taught me the meaning of true “honesty”; again, such a deep definition of that word, that it’s in my heart, but hard to put on paper. Jack’s optimism regarding the gospel was second to none; and that’s because Jack had the faith and Spirit to handle the consequences. Along with that went his ability to work night, as well as day. With his sparkling eyes he always looked like he was willing to take on a new challenge. And, through all his experiences he had a wonderful sense of humor. Jack loved singsongs — the type where everyone was gathered around the piano, often learning new hymns, which included hymns that Jack himself had written. Jack did not like to be praised, but the only ways to describe what he meant to me those few years in Dawson Creek is to say what I did. As I read again what I wrote, I think I’m describing Jack, but, I am really describing the marks of Jesus, that was able to shine forth because of the transparency of the man Jack.
I am so sorry that I can’t make it to the funeral because of health reasons, My condolences to the family.
With kind thoughts, Diane Grundstrom
