Jack Cottrill
Just stopping by to ask for your prayers. Yesterday Jack Cottrill, my first cousin (once removed) went to be with his Lord. It was very sudden, and he leaves many people behind who will miss him, including our family.
Jack had a strong testimony for the Lord. We enjoyed time with him and his wife Marj in their home. In fact, at one point they were generous enough to let us stay in their home for an extended time while we were visiting Ontario.
I discovered when we joined CAM that Jack had actually served for many years on the CAM Canada board. He had a great interest in the Lord’s work around the world.
Here’s the obituary from the funeral home website.
