   I have always enjoyed my chats with Jack as he sat and surveyed the world passing by. He had quite a turn of wit and always had a twinkle in his eye. His hanging baskets were always magnificent and his horticultural knowledge was boundless. The village has lost a special character. We send our very sincere condolences to Roger, Mary and family.

   Our sincere condolences to the family. We will miss him sat outside his house, he always had a wave and a cheery greeting to the children.

   Jack was such an important part of the fabric of our community, and his work will continue to be part of the fabric of many of our homes and local buildings. Every time we enter St. Peter’s church or look at other local carpentry there are very solid reminders of Jack.

   Gill & I send our sincerest condolences to Roger and his family. Jack Cundy was one of our nearest neighbours and he and Vera made us so welcome when we first arrived in Parwich exactly 16 years ago in the midst of a snow storm. We had many chats with Jack over the years. He told us about his war time experiences as an armourer on Lancaster bombers and the building of the Mulberry ports for the Normandy invasion. The splendid west doors of St Peter’s Church were made by Jack out of recovered purlins from the roof of the old library in Ashbourne when the pitched roof was removed and replaced with a flat roof. Jack’s green fingers and hanging baskets were legendary, and there must be countless visitors to the village who admired them adorning his cottage in the summer putting Parwich on the map.

    I’ve only just seen this. What a loss. Such lovely memories of a great man. His hanging baskets will never be equaled. He always had time to stop and chat and I so admired his determination to get out and about as he got older. Feeling sad, and our thoughts are with the family. xx Trev, Deb, Allie & Sam

    We have only lived in Parwich since March but Jack was one of the first people in the village we felt we knew because we passed him most days sitting out in the sun and always enjoyed our little chats with him. Certainly made us feel very welcome.
