They went on to have 3 children Gary, Jacqueline and Shannon. Jackie and Margaret immigrated to Canada after their first child in 1966. Jack went on to work many of jobs before he landed on his career at Reimer Express Lines, which he took a lot of pride in. In Jackie’s spare time he loved Watching soccer, Manitoba Irish Association, the Masons, movies and his greatest joy of all was spending time with his family.

I was sorry to hear of Jackie's passing. As a member of the Irish Association of Manitoba, I have many memories of the Swann family and Irish danced with Shannon and Jaqueline. Lots of old friends have made inquiries at the club over the years and remember him and the family with warm memories. My condolences to the Swann family and friends.
