Our sincerest condolences go out to all the Broocke family. We feel fortunate to know most of Jack’s Victoria and Calgary family and with heavy hearts we are thinking of you all during this very sad and challenging time.
A huge part of our lives; one half of the best neighbours a person could wish for for the last 35 years, took his last trip around the cul-de-sac on Monday night.. Standing at the window and watching we were thinking of Jack’s favourite expression.. “will do it in the fall” .. wishing he could have waited at least till “will do it in the spring” which we also heard often! Love you all.. warm memories will keep jack near .. and we have many many! Mona and Brian
Thank you Mona and Brian for being there when we needed you.You guys are truly the Best.Thanks for being the greatest neighbours and friends!
I am so sorry to hear this. Sending hugs to all of you.
