Obituary of John Alfred Firman

FIRMAN, John "Jack" Alfred March 8, 1934 - December 26, 2020 We are incredibly saddened to announce the passing of our loving Dad, Grampa and soon to be Great Grampa, with his daughter by his side, after a long, hard fight with vascular dementia; and fight he did. Survived by his adoring Daughters Rhonda and Karen, and the apple of his eye, his Granddaughter Kim Cote (Matt). Predeceased by his beautiful Wife Pat (September 2005). Jack is also survived by his Sister Shirley and her husband Romain Cote, his In-Laws Lynne, Bob (Marion), Kenny (Kathy), and Donnie. Predeceased by his Brothers and their spouses Fred (Viv), Tom (Annette), Mick (Barb), Len (Bunny), and sisters and their spouses Olive (Albert) and Edna (Red), as well as his in-laws, Betty, Bill, Clifford "Squeak", Pauline, Marilyn, Art and Ed. He will be missed by many nieces and nephews, as well as by all his furry companions. In Jack's Nephew, David's words, "We can all take comfort in the fact that the Firman boys are back raising hell together again". Jack spent a few years in the Navy on the Iroquois during the Korean War, he was a firefighter at the Windsor airport, and was also employed at Canteen of Canada. He ended his career retiring from GM Transmission. Jack was an avid and highly skilled golfer, achieving a hole in one. He was a past member of Pointe West Golf Club, with a standing tee time with Mike Cleary at the 19th hole at beer o'clock. Jack was also a past member of the local 200 golf league. Jack was truly a "jack of all trades". Most anything you needed done he was up for the challenge. We would like to extend a thank you to Jacks Angels on 2E (you know who you are) for the wonderful care provided and great compassion shown to our family. We would also like to thank Dr.'s Robinson, Bastien, Toth, and Sion for their many years of care. At Jack's request, cremation as taken place. Memorial donations may be made to the Windsor Essex County Humane Society or to any other animal rescue of your choice. Arrangements entrusted to SIMPLE CHOICE (Amherstburg) 519-254-2585.
