PUTTENHAM, John Henry “Jack”
Jack Puttenham passed away peacefully at Extendicare Hamilton on Saturday, June 6, 2020 at the age of 92. Predeceased by his beloved wife Ann Puttenham nee Campbell (2011).

Jack had many varied interests including but not limited to science, technology, news/current events and particularly classical and jazz music and opera.

He worked in the jewellery industry, at the Royal Connaught Hotel, and most notably at Stelco where he worked as a First Class Stationary Engineer up until his retirement in 1988.
