On Wednesday, June 21, 2006 at the Carman Memorial Hospital in Carman, Jack Meldrum, aged 57 years, beloved husband of Debby Meldrum of Sperling. Jack is survived by his wife Debby, his son Phil Meldrum and friend Monika and his daughter Nicole (Marc) Bilodeau and their daughter Jourdan.

Jack was predeceased by his parents, James and Marjorie Meldrum, and brother-in-laws Jim Russell and Mike Woods. Jack was very dedicated to work, family and the Sperling Community. He enjoyed his time working at the "farm." Family was very important to Dad, and none more so than his pride and joy, granddaughter Jourdan. He was a member of the Sperling Community Club and served for 30 years as a volunteer fire fighter. As a young man, Jack enjoyed baseball, hockey and never lost his passion for the outdoors, and time hunting and fishing. Sunday morning coffee at "Curdts" was rarely missed, and dad will always be remembered for his amazing work ethic.
