JACK SHELDON PP PHF

Jack was a member of this Rotary Club since February 2003, and was elected as  President from 2010 -11. He was awarded a PHF in 2015.

Jack was a larger than life character – a kind and generous giant whose shoulders many of us stood on through the years, and who contributed so much to so many.

A much loved husband to Lynda, father to Mark and Jon, Grandad to Evelyn, Thomas, Sophia, Keira and Clodagh, brother to Richard, Joy and Julia, and a great friend to many - the fond memories we all have are countless.

He loved social occasions, so there was a celebration of his life - ‘funeral attire’ was not required, and ‘colour’, and of course a bow tie, were most welcome!

There was a wake at Burton Albion FC, Pirelli Stadium, 

Jack wasn’t a fan of flowers, but he definitely liked to raise money for good causes, so donations were made in his memory to 3 charities.

Mark Sheldon (also on behalf of Lynda and Jon) said:

Many thanks for all of your friendship, love and support over the years - I know that our Dad really valued it, as does our Mum.
