Notes |
- Jack and Nona Settled for 12 months at Whyalla where John was employed as an electrician with B.H.P. having served his apprenticeship with the company at Iron Knob. He transferred with the company to their Newcastle works and finally bought a home at North Hamilton (suburb of Newcastle). During this period he left B.H.P. and served quite some time as a control room operator at various power stations in the hunter Valley (New South Wales), operated by the N.S.W. Electricity Commission. To satisfy his ambitio9n to operate his own business, he resigned his job with the N.S.W.E.C., sold the property at North Hamilton and took over the licence of the Courthouse Hotel, Paterson, New South Wales. Unfortunately the venture in this little valley town failed and the business was disposed of some 12 months later. Following this failure he and Nona moved to Sydney where he had gained a position of Commercial Installation Supervisor with J,H. Liddle and Epstein, later taken over by Honeywell Controls Pty Ltd. He held this job for quiet a number of years, during which time his marriage with Nona broke down (about 1964) and they separated but never divorced. He left Honeywell and held various postions with several companied until due to failing health following major lung surgery he was invalided out of the work force. His final years (in the 70s) were peacefully spent with his sister Hazel and brother-in-law Tom Dunbar in Mt Gambier, South Australia where he passed away. Jack willed his body to medical research, hence the delay in burial.
