Jack Coulter was born November 13, 1926 to George and Effie Coulter in Wilkie, Saskatchewan. He left us to be with Mom quite suddenly on March 11, 2012.

He was living independently and still organizing things just hours before he died. He loved his family so much and would have waited to speak with all of us if he could have.

He was predeceased by his wife of 51 years Edie in 2008 and sister Joyce Landry.

He is survived by sons Tim (Donna) McIntyre, Bob (Carlene) Coulter, daughter Jacquie (Brian) Ciancone, grandchildren Will (Tamara), Andy (Sierra), Lauren, Brock and Amy. Also the newest branches on his family tree beloved great grandsons Colton (Snooky) and Tristan Jack, and nephew Hal Landry.

His working life had encompassed many things, but he was a professional driver from early on, and his final job before retirement was school bus driver. It was a job he really enjoyed, he liked the kids and they liked and respected him. After he retired they drove to Yuma for winters and once drove all across Canada. He really enjoyed Hawaii as well. He also loved to buy and sell things, and always enjoyed looking for the best deal. He had a great twinkle in his eye and his Coulter charm was known by all. He had a word, a smile and some teasing for everyone he met. He loved sports, curling, baseball and hockey filled his days, and he wasn't afraid of technology using the computer to keep in touch with friends and family. Recently he discovered a talent for baking, adding muffins to his famous pancake brunches! He was a wonderful father who cared so much for and about his family. He enjoyed where he lived especially his decks and growing his tomatoes. It was close to everything and easy for family to stop by. He looked forward to spring when he could get his scooter on the road and go about his rounds visiting. He was a people person and from playing floor curling to crib games, he loved to socialize.

The family would like to thank Dr. Phil Sigalet and Cheri for their care of dad over the years, he was a regular and felt well looked after by them.

His smile and presence will be missed by all, and he leaves a huge hole in our family. We love you dad and were so thankful for all that you gave us over the years.

Should friends desire donations to be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation of BC.
