JACOB JACK HARDER September 17, 1921 - December 11, 2008 Jack came from a very large farming family in Borden, Saskatchewan. As a young lad, he worked hard on the farm - a trait that went with him all through his life. Jack became a home builder and for over 40 years constructed many houses throughout BC. His Kamloops heritage is visible in every part of town. He finished his construction career with a heritage office building renovation in Vancouver. When Jack joined Lil Smith in life, he also became part of a family of her five children and their families. The best years of their lives will be remembered by the good times at Scotch Creek on the Shuswap - building, boating, water-skiing, enjoying Jack’s culinary skills, and sitting around his famous campfires. Jack is survived by his only living relative, Bud and family in Abbotsford, and will be lovingly and forever remembered by his partner Lil Smith and her children - George and Mary-Anne Smith; Jim and Madeleine Smith; Linda and Mike Dickson; John and Bev Smith; and Wendy and Gord Henderson; also niece Lois and her son John Hollstedt and family; ten grandchildren and twelve great grandchildren. The family is grateful for the care and attention given by Dr. Langford, and the compassionate and caring staff at the Hospice in Kamloops. You made his final days very comforting. At Jack’s request, there will be no service, just a family gathering. In lieu of flowers, please make donations to the Canadian Cancer Society in memory of Jack Harder
