Last Thursday while on a sledding trip returning to his cottage from Parry Sound, Jack Bourrie of Peterborough, suffered a heart attack and passed away.

I had known of Jack from when I worked as an apprentice in the Oshawa Car Plant where he retired from in 1985. He was on the executive of the Paudash Trailblazers while I was on it. Afterwards he was a director on the OFSC.

Anyone who snowmobiled with him enjoyed his sense of humour and quick wit. He always looked forward to the annual sledding trip he took with his sister, brother in law and my folks.

Like a lot a people have said he went doing what he enjoyed and will be missed by all.

rev,
that's too bad sounds like he was an impact in your life, guess you will miss him.

atleast he went doing something he loved by the sounds of your story.

Died dooing what he lived to do........ God Bless Him and his passion!

Paul, I thought there may be some sledders on here that Jack may have met during his time w/ the OFSC.

Sorry to hear about that Revrnd.
Gets me thinking that we could use a sledder hall of fame for exceptional people that helped pioneer this sport as we know today. I am sure he will be missed by all.

Our condolences go out to the family.

We should all be so lucky as to go while we are doing what we love best.

My condolences to the family and his friends.

Godspeed, Jack - Thank you for your contributions.
