Hi Kim,

Not seeing an obit for Jack, but you could try contacting the Stouffville Library to see if they
can find it.

You can search Ontario Community newspapers, narrow it down to Stouffville, it is very
finicky though.

Did pick this up..... Stouffville Tribune, Feb. 4, 1965

ADDED: An easier way to peruse the Stouffville newpapers. Add "Jack Pearce" to the search bar,
then on the right side, click on Stouffville. You can do the same for "Florence Pearce".

Hi Kim,

March 12, 1970, there is a card of thanks thanking friends who called and for the many expressions
of sympathy, Florence Pearce and family.  I'm guessing that was for Jack, which would put his
death Feb./March 1970 time frame.

Wow, DB, you sure found a lot!!

I had eye surgery yesterday and am using my 15 minutes allotment of eye usage to quickly look over all this info.  Once i am allowed to be using my eyes again full time, I'll look over all that info more thoroughly.

Thank you so much for all your help!

Hi Kim,

You're welcome.

Rest that/those eyes. All this can wait until you are feeling better.

Best wishes for a speedy recovery,

Cheers,
DB
