Mountford, Jack (Hanover)
Published on 2/5/2020
On Sunday, April 26th, 2020, William John “Jack” Mountford passed away quietly and peacefully in his sleep at home. Jack meant the world to his family, and was a great father – he was their knight in shining armour, their hero, mentor, and first love. Their angel gained his wings early Sunday morning, and they are sure his transition was seamless – The world received a special gift.
Loved by his 3 children: Elizabeth “Betty Ann” & her husband Doug Morin of Neustadt, Karen Mountford & her husband Ernie Rivers of Walkerton and Brian Mountford and his wife Karen of Wiarton. Remembered by his grandchildren Michelle Joy and her fiancé Leonard Agro, Christine Joy, Taylor Morin and his girlfriend Makenna Munroe, Kyle McCaughern and his girlfriend Sarah Bona, special grandchildren Sondra, Kimberly, & Tracy Bidwell, Jennifer Critch and 3 great grandchildren, nieces, nephews, and family and friends across this country. Fondly remembered by his brother Vince (Lorraine) Mountford, brother-in-law John (Sally) Granger, sisters-in-law Diane (Pat) McCrodan and Bernice (Nelson) Granger. Predeceased by his wife Betty Mountford (nee Granger) and his sister Mary in infancy.
A private family Memorial Service will be held at the Hanover Cemetery. Rev. Bonnie Sutherland officiating. A Celebration of Life is being planned at a later date, and will take place at St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church, Hanover, where he will be remembered as a devoted member, serving on the Board of Directors.
