I was very saddened to hear of Jack’s passing. Although I only spent a few weeks with him, I feel like I have known him forever. He told me many stories and was always so very friendly. My sincere condolences to his family and many friends.

I am very sorry to hear of the passing of your father, grandfather and great-grandfather, Jack. Ken always enjoyed telling stories about his adventures rounding up cattle. He and I enjoyed our visits to your farm and your hospitality. It was only a year ago that you were here for Ken’s funeral. It is sad to think that a whole generation is gone, but happy to think of their reunion in Heaven. It is a difficult time when we lose a loved one. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
Sincerely,
Joan

Although we did not have the pleasure of knowing Jack, we are so very fortunate to own a horse from one of his prestigious stock, “Clarkey”. We will ride him knowing he came from a family of great horse values and pride. We have been, however, blessed with knowing the great family that surrounded Jack. To Dave, Patti, Nathan, Sarah Jo, Bevin, Nathan, Sherrilynn, Mark, Janet, and the rest of the Kinsmans, our deepest condolences.

I do not think there are enough words to describe how special Jack Kinsman was. Tireless hours farming, horseman, cattleman, family man and friends too so many, there are not too many of our lives that Jack didn’t touch. The countless wonderful stories he would tell over Elaine’s great coffee. The most kind, selfless most knowledgeable man I know. I am honoured to have known and grown up down the road from him and his amazing family. What a wonderful legacy he has left us. Sweet hour of prayer Jack.

Brad & I offer our deepest condolences in the loss of your father. We became friends while serving together on the Hensall Fairboard.
I admired Jack for his quiet ways & such broad knowledge of cattle & horses ( & his ability to read people). I always enjoyed dropping in for a visit. Jack was quick to put the kettle on & I usually stayed longer than planned.
We will hold you all in our thoughts & prayers through this difficult time & cherish our fond memories of Jack.
