Jack DAVIE Obituary

I was deeply saddened to hear of Jack's passing.
I will always remember him as a vibrant, happy, man with a smile that could light up a room. Who could resist the twinkle in his eyes? For a period of time, he was my brother-in-law and was always very kind and caring towards me.
I remember when he tried to explain cricket to my father. Such a laugh we all had. When my father died, Jack sent me a very thoughtful and sympathetic letter. It meant so much to me. I still have it.
Jack's light touched so many people during his lifetime. He will be sorely missed.

I was so sorry to hear of Jack's passing. He had been coming along to our choir (social singing group) for about a year. His smile and clear strong singing voice will be missed.

Such a great mentor, I will always cherish the time we were together. My deepest condolences to the family and friends.

Jack was a great friend, great company, always interested, very intelligent and most importantly a true gentleman. Our sincere condolences to all his family & friends.

I first worked with Jack at Prince Henry's Hospital in biomedical engineering many years ago. Jack had a wonderful personality and was entertaining and enthusiastic in all that he did. He was a great engineer and an excellent mentor in my first proper job and helped to launch the careers of many others. I was fortunate to continue my association with Jack through other roles over the years. So very saddened to learn of Jack's sudden passing. Such a decent and kind man. My sincere condolences to Jack's family and friends.

Jack was an incredibly kind and generous soul who was passionate about everything he did. His guidance and mentorship shaped me as an individual. I feel blessed to have known him and will miss him deeply. Thinking of family and friends touched by his passing.

Jack was the best Manager I worked with, and I learned a lot under his leadership at RMH. It was a great experience to work under his leadership for 7 years and I will truly miss him. I will always cherish the time we worked together. My deepest condolences to the family and friends.

Jack was a foundation member of the Card Sharks' quasi-monthly Friday night sessions more than 30 years ago, when he (and most or all of us) lived in Richmond, Melbourne. He was lively, witty and friendly, and it's sad to lose him even though our contact has been occasional since he moved back to his homeland. My condolences to his family.

Rest in peace Jack. Sending lots of love to the family x

Thoughts and love to Lisa and Tim from the Miller Family

Sending my sincerest condolences to Lisa, all of the Davie family and all that loved Jack

Rest in Peace Jack. Sending all my love to the family x

Sending so much love to you and your whole family LD.

Many fond childhood memories of rough and tumbles with Jack at Mulberry St. Jack was always a lot of fun, and always brought enthusiasm to any conversation. A great man who we will dearly miss. Thoughts are with his family and friends at this time.

Jack,
Myself and many other Biomedical engineer share great memories with Jack. Jack was an inspiring person, thoughtful and totally dedicated to his profession. Jack was a huge influence on the team at Prince Henry's Hospital. Lots of fond memories and that period. My sincere condolences to Jack's family. Well done Jack.

So sad and too young

Jack was a well respected and cherished leader of RMH Clinical Engineering. We remember Jack for his warmth and leadership to all those he managed and mentored.

Jack was a true gentleman with a friendly, welcoming personality. We first met Jack when he worked at Prince Henry's Hospital in Melbourne, and enjoyed his company for the ensuring years while he was in Melbourne. Our thoughts are with his family and many friends at this time. Vale Jack Davie. John and Chris.

I remember fondly the time I spent sharing a house with Jack 8 years ago while doing a project in Melbourne. The last time I had seen Jack was when Tim was 3 months old. It was a great year meeting the extended family when Tim got married. And I shared many a laugh with Jack. He was a lovely man. Sending hugs and prayers to all the family.

On behalf of all the members of our Richmond `Cardsharks Club´, we are very saddened to hear that our eldest member Jack has decided to `cash in his chips´! We thoroughly enjoyed so many Friday nights where Jack would entertain us with his anecdotes, wit and quirky humour. Who will forget ever forget Christmas in July at Mulberry St singing carols in the backyard at 2am, primed with 12-year old Dimple Scotch, incurring Isobel´s wrath! Goodbye dear Jack - you will always be a card carrying member of our club. John, Tony, Malcolm, Richard, Graham, Steve, Ian and Michael.

Our heartfelt condolences to our dear friend Jack's family. May his soul rest in peace. We will miss him dearly. Caroline and akbar from. Iran.

My heartfelt Condolence Dear Tim and Lisa and yr partners and Kids. Very sad to hear of yr Dad passing away. May his Dear Soul Rest in Peace.

I will always cherish the wonderful moments I shared with Jacko, yr beloved Dad. The trek to Base Camp, AuroraBoralis, India, Iran. Rest in Peace Dearest Jacko. I loved you in my way. Patsy.

We remember Jack for his wicked sense of humour, love of red wines and his ability to tell a great story. We loved him as a neighbour, a friend and a devoted dad to Tim and Lisa, and later to their partners Lilly and Rebecca. We will miss him and send our love to the extended family.

Over the years I have had many adventures with Jack and we got up to a lot of innocent mischief. From the late 1970's we both worked at Prince Henry's Hospital in Melbourne later to become Monash Medical Centre. Jack in Biomedical, me in nuts and bolts Engineering. We were both engaged on the Hospital Support Services project in Peninsula Malaysia from 1993 to 1997 with Radicare, working with Jin lor and Alan Coleman on support services for 33 Hospitals and 4 Institutions in Penninsula Malaysia with a very large workforce. Jin, Jack and I learnt to scuba dive on the islands around Malaysia in our recreation time on weekends and holidays. Later on Jack and I both worked on the Sarawak International Medical Centre project in Kuching Sarawak East Malaysia (Borneo) from 2004 to 2006 and many a laugh was shared. This Hospital SIMC later became the National Heart Institute for Sarawak. Along with James Handfield Jones and many others we explored the Jungles of Sarawak and many of the delicacies. So much fun and Jack was always good for a laugh and innocent mischief. I will miss you my very dear friend and brother Jack. Condolences to Jack's daughter Lisa, Son Tim, brother Peter, Isobel, Patsy, family and many friends. May you rest in peace Jack, until we meet again my very dear friend. https://pbase.com/junglegeorge/valejackdavie25082023

My sincerest condolences for you at this time.
Jack was a wonderful friend and mentor to me over many years in both Australia and Malaysia. I always remember his words to me as a fresh graduate biomedical engineer when I was full of imposter syndrome: you have done the hard work, you walk like a biomedical engineer, you talk like a biomedical engineer, you act like a biomedical engineer, so you are a biomedical engineer...and off I went. I am grateful for his generosity with both his time and for the many laughs we shared.

Very sad to hear of your dads passing Lisa, saddest day of our lives , stay strong for the family, which I know you will . Tony Ebeyer

We are all shocked and saddened to learn that Jack has passed away.
We will surely miss his big smile at our boxing group exercises and the social chats and coffee afterwards.
Our sympathies and kindest regards to all his family,

I remember Jack with fondness from his time at The Royal Melbourne Hospital. Always a gentleman.

Most sincere condolences to all members of Jack Family.
Jack was a work colleague , a collaborator for a few overseas significant projects. Most of all he was a true and trusted friend. We learnt to scuba dive together and had visited in some incredible destinations as scuba dive buddies. He will be missed by all his friends and work colleagues.
May his soul rest in Peace
