Jack was born August 30th, 1926, in Vancouver and was raised in the West End. After Lord
Roberts Elementary, Jack attended King George High School before enlisting in the air
force at age 17. Following his service, Jack honed his business skills at Gordon and
Belyea, then started his advertising and marketing career as a founding partner of JAY
Design Agency (JDA). This company rapidly evolved into Roberts Fenton Advertising,
thereafter becoming a national company as Roberts Fenton McConnel (RFM). Seeking new
challenges, Jack became involved in land development and construction, notably Pine
Crest Estates near Whistler. In 1984, Jack and his son Brad began Wynford Realty Group
Ltd., a property management company to which he remained connected into his final days.
Throughout his life, Jack was a true sportsman with a particular passion for basketball,
badminton, boxing and hockey. His love for sport was passed along to his children and
grandchildren through constant encouragement. He also willingly gave much of his time to
organizations such as the St. Paul's Anglican Boys' Club, Vancouver Chamber of Commerce,
Vancouver Board of Trade, Vancouver Planetarium, Junior Achievement, Federal and
Provincial Political parties. Jack was an exceptionally charitable man, therefore, in
lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Canadian Cancer Society or the Richmond
Hospital Foundation in memory of Jack Fenton. All who came to know Jack will miss him
