Rev Angus William Oliver Jack
second minister of Trinity Possil Church in the 1950's
It is with regret that we announce the death of Rev Angus Jack, in Vancouver, Canada on the 24th April 2009. We mourn the passing of Rev Jack but we take comfort and rejoice in the knowledge that he is with his Saviour to whom he dedicated his life. Message from Moyra, daughter of Rev Angus Jack

I am writing to let you and the church know that my dear Dad died this morning at age 92. He had pneumonia recently and recovered somewhat, but his strength was gone and in the last few days he stopped eating and on Monday slipped into a coma. My sister Dorothy, my husband Reg and I were with him and he passed away peacefully, listening to some beautiful music and surrounded by love. He is now at peace with my dear Mum, Davina, and is in the presence of Jesus. We are so lucky to have had such a wondeful Dad and for such a long time. He taught us so much - how to be a good person, how to honour and love God and how to serve and love others. I will send you a copy of the eulogy I will write for his memorial service, which will take place on May 2, 2009, in a lovely church in Richmond, called Steveston United Church. The church is quite small and reminds us of Dad's first charge, in Torrance. Dad was interim Minister at Steveston United in 1988, for one year.
Please pass on our good wishes to the congregation at TPHD. I attach a couple of recent photos of Angus, taken on his birthday, on January 29th.
God bless you.
