Karen/Bruce Steel - June 2, 2026

We have known Jack, starting the year he was brave enough to become the fist Precident of our Probus Club. Jack was a hit with his low key yet hilarious manner. He brought what a new club needed-laughter. For many years Jack and Bruce golfed together. No prizes but a lot of fun. Jack was always a gentleman leading Bruce in the Probus Annual Christmas Party. Behind Jack’s actions was a cunning intelligence. To Gail and the family we are sorry for your loss. Karen and Bruce
