I have so many fond memories of our families spending time together at that the curling club; Debbie and Penny curling together, Brian and Jim and of course mom and dad curling with "Mr. & Mrs. Burrows! So sorry that I was not able to make my condolences in person, Spike was so thrilled to see all of you and yet so very sad at the same time. When I think of "Mr. Burrows" I think of integrity and kindness and I am so sad that he is no longer here. Penny, Brian and my mom also send their condolences. xo

Jack Burrows was one of a kind. He was a rare politician who did not seek personal glory or recognition. He was genuine and kind and understood service and "servant" leader. May all of our memories of Jack give us peace and comfort. In Veritate Victoria, Tony, Connie, Nadine & Charity Vander Wall

I have such fond memories of Jack. I worked at City Hall and he always had time for a smile and to ask how I was. When my husband passed away, he was at the Funeral, I really appreciated that. I wish Elaine and all of Jack's family the deepest and sincere sympathy. I know you have a lot of fond memories of your life with this great man. Hold fast to those as no one can take those away. Take care, sincerely, Mary Willard

I join with many others who knew Jack in offering our deepest sympathy. I was fortunate to have the chance to work with Mayor Burrows during my time at City Hall. What a wonderful person he was and North Bay was so lucky to have a person of his calibre offer his services to the City. He was a marvelous leader who never took enough credit for the many things he carried out.
