ATKIN,
John
Hamilton "
Jack"
Born August 12, 1928 in Leamington, Ontario; died peacefully
on May 19, 2008 in his 80th year, exactly 10 days after accepting
the news of the extent of his cancer with courage and dignity
- the same realistic way he dealt with every other challenge
he faced throughout his life, particularly during his last few
years with limited mobility and multiple health issues (to quote
him, this was just another 'curve ball'). He was surrounded during
his last days by love, family, Friends, music, and of course,
Flowers. Needless to say, he was telling jokes right up to his
last hours of consciousness. He was much loved and will be missed
by his children Greg and Carolyn
ATKIN,
Jay and
Mary
Maureen
ATKIN, Virginia
ATKIN and Keith
AMBACHTSHEER, and Jacqui
ATKIN
and Laurie
FRASER; his grandchildren Melissa
ATKIN and Mike
RYAN,
Sean and Lori
ATKIN and Peter
AMBACHTSHEER. He was also very
close to and will be missed by his sisters Jane
JOHNSON,
Bette
SHARPE and Ruth
STOREY.
There are also numerous nieces and nephews
who lovingly remember their Uncle Jack, cousins, a multitude
of Friends, and a brother Bill. Predeceased by his parents Edward
and Edith
(JACKSON)
ATKIN, his step-mother Agatha
(WILSON)
ATKIN
his brother Don
ATKIN, his brothers-in-law, far too many Friends,
and his soulmate, Mary
(ROBERTSON)
BLAIR, with whom he is now
reunited. Always a visionary, Jack was a pioneer in the growing,
mass marketing and distribution of flowers throughout his career.
He was one of the first flower producers to introduce the sale
of potted plants and cut flowers to major food chains and department
stores. In carrying on the family business that his father started
(Atkin's Flowers, then Yoder-Atkin), he advanced the year-round
propagation and sale of chrysanthemum cuttings to North American
markets, and was a great believer in plant breeders' rights.
His innovation for packaging and distribution led the way for
the success that exists in today's flower industry. He also started
the direct sales business at Ontario Flower Growers. Known as
'Action Jackson', he was also an avid volunteer in numerous organizations
- he was one of the founders of the Cecil Delworth Foundation
and the Canadian Ornamental Plant Foundation, a strong supporter
of Flowers Canada and The Canadian Horticulture Council, and
served on the Board of the Royal Winter Fair when they introduced
the flower show into the annual program. Jack has always been
recognized by the flower industry of North America and has been
given many awards for his contributions over the years. He was
also involved in building the Leamington District Memorial Hospital
in the 1950s. His interests included having the best garden in
town, curling, Kinsmen, tennis, barbershop singing, playing cards,
scotch, dancing (even in his wheelchair) and more recently being
a Claremont Calendar guy! Jack was always proud of the lifelong
Friendships he made along the way with so many people, including
his colleagues, most of his clients, and his competitors. His
life was about 'caring and sharing'. He will be remembered by
his 'power of positive thinking' approach to life, his loyalty
and Friendship, the flowers he always had for everyone, and his
lifelong ambition to make people smile. Jack's family is very
grateful to Lynn
WEBSTER,
Natalie
COPPOLINO and the entire Staff
of The Claremont Retirement Residence for making the last few
years of his life so happy (and the Residents, too); to Doctor Mary
GOSPODAROWICZ of The Princess Margaret Hospital, and Dianne
WILLIAMS
and all of the very special Palliative Care Nurses at Saint Michael's
Hospital for their care and compassion in easing the pain for
Dad, and helping his family through this last part of his journey
Dr. Gary MAY and the Gastro-Intestinal Team at Saint Michael's
Hospital as well as Doctor Carmen
MUELLER and Doctor Catherine
WONG.
Arrangements handled by The Simple Alternative Funeral Centre,
North York. A Celebration of Life will be held at The Old Mill,
21 Old Mill Road, Toronto on Tuesday, June 17 at 3: 00 p.m. While
there will definitely be flowers, we ask that those interested
in making a donation to remember Jack do so either to The Princess
Margaret Hospital Foundation, 610 University Avenue, Toronto,
Ontario M5G 2M9 (1.866.224.6560 or www.pmhf.ca) or to The Jack
Atkin Memorial Fund at the Ontario Agricultural College, University
of Guelph, Guelph, Ontario N1G 2W1 (payable to the University
of Guelph). We are setting up a 'Jack Atkin Memories' website
- you can email jacqui.atkin@sympatico.ca to send us your stories
and photos, and to be added to get on our website announcement
mailing list. We will all miss Jack's warmth, love of life, and
jokes! It Was A Great Ride!
