July 26, 1935 - December 16, 2022

It is with great sadness that the family of John (Jack) Patrick Power of Dunville announce his sudden passing on December 16, 2022.

Predeceased by his wife Clarice (Newhook) Power (d. 2021), parents Tom Power and Mary (Griffiths) Power, and brother David Power.

Jack is survived by his brother Tom Power (Toronto), sister-in-law Catherine "Kitty" Power, and a host of nieces and nephews on both sides of his family.

Jack enjoyed a successful career at the Argentia military base, employed by the U.S. Navy, and retired as a civilian member of that force, having worked with, and for, the many servicemen and women during the heyday of "The Base".

Jack was an avid outdoorsman, enjoying hunting birds and rabbits, trout fishing and, earlier in life, camping with Clarice. He spent many holidays camping at Jack’s Pond Park with Gordon and Jane Newhook and their children and much time with his Newhook and Power families. He was a delightful and constant presence in both.

Jack and Clarice had no children, but held their nieces and nephews in special regard and attention. Jack loved to yarn and laugh and was great company, always hilarious, but never at anyone’s expense. Jack was a gentle man in every regard, and was keen and interested in all whom he met.

Many heartfelt thanks to Beachside Manor and to the many people who showed such great care, compassion, and companionship to Jack in his later years. He will be dearly missed.

Funeral arrangements entrusted to Maher's Funeral Home, Placentia, with visitation on Monday, December 19th from 7pm to 9pm.  Mass of Christian Burial to take place 10:30am on Tuesday, December 20th at St. Anne's Church, Dunville.  Inurnment to follow at Dermot McGettigan Memorial Cemetery, Southeast Placentia.
