John “Jack” Haines

August 5, 1947 – November 28, 2024

It is with profound sadness that the family of John (Jack) Taylor Haines announces his passing at Cornwall Hospice on Thursday November 28th, 2024 at the age of 77.

Loving husband, best friend and business partner of Lise Haines (nee Campeau).

Jack is mourned by his daughters Hilary Heenan (Mike) and Lauren Haines (Jay) as well as his stepdaughter Mallory Boileau (Bobby) and stepson Nicolas Lutz.

Grampa Jack leaves to mourn his amazing grandchildren Olivia, Carson, Anna, Dalila, Elise & Eve.  He was extremely proud of all of them.

Jack began his working career as Media Manager at St Lawrence College in 1969 and left in 1986 to join Bendix Avelex as Plant Manager.  In 1992 he started a training centre, Heritage Institute and acquired the franchise for MicroAge Computers from which he retired in 2020.

His true passion was hockey beginning in his hometown of Stratford, Ontario with the Braves then moving on to The Fredericton Red Wing.  Jack then joined the Shawinigan Bruins, followed by Les Castors de Sherbrooke and the Drummondville Royals.  Between 1971 and 1974, Jack coached the St Lawrence College Road Runners.  Long time player for the Hubs he also played with the Ontario District 8 Morrisburg Combines bringing home the gold medal 2018 in the 70+ division.  He cherished the innumerable friendships made through hockey and was a fiercely loyal friend to the end.  Modest about his accomplishments in hockey he could often be heard saying “I’m not just a pretty face, you know”.

In following Jack’s wishes there will be no wake or funeral service.  Should you wish to donate in Jack’s memory, please consider Carefor Hospice Cornwall or The Children’s Treatment Centre.
