My condolence to all the family. My memories go back to Jacks place in our Towns History where he will always be in the forefront with his music. Whether it be at Moorlands on Saturday night or the Pinetree in the afternoon it was natural talent at its best. Multi talented with the accordion, keyboard and guitar. Memories for sure. Lloyd Gosse
To: The Barron Family, we are so sorry for the passing of Jack:
We have so many fond memories of him, he was unique in so many ways and touched the hearts of so many through his musical talent. It was a pleasure knowing and having the opportunity of playing with him for ten years. He was so talented in keyboards, accordion and vocals (yet, not restricted to these few but, could play any instrument) on which he put his hands.
A gentleman with a “God given gift” that will remain with all of us !
Rest in Peace, my friend !
Shocked and saddened to hear of jacks passing. He was one of tge best musicians to come from the east coast. His personality was second to none. I can still see him walking down the road and whistling. I’m sure h will be missed by many but his music will live on forever. My condolences to the families.
My heartfelt condolences to Jack’s family . He was well known in his community especially for his gift of music . I mostly remember him playing in the Band when I first started going to dances .He was so talented . He certainly was a people person and easy to chat with . Rest in peace ,Jack . May perpetual light shine upon you. Thank you so much for the music !
So very sorry to hear about Jack’ passing. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all at this most difficult time. God Bless.
Monty, Veronica and family…my condolences to you and family at this difficult time. May you Dad rest in peace and let his memories be a blessing.
Well, it was only Saturday that I tapped on his door at the manor got no answer I poked my head in to say hi and he wasn’t there. This wasn’t a surprise because when I thought about it his car was missing when I drove up. Anyway now I find out that he has passed what a shock to say the lease. I always stopped to speak and have a laugh reminiscing when he played at the clubs on weekends and special occasions such as Weddings, Anniversaries, fundraisers etcetera, he was great at what he did we are certainly going to miss that. We send our sincere condolences to Jack’s family and I know Jack will play himself into the (greater beyond), his words that I heard him say many times. RIP Jack!
