Freeport, Bahamas - It is with deep sadness that we acknowledge the passing of a Lifetime Supporter and Friend of The Salvation Army, Freeport Corps, Sir Jack Hayward. Sir Jack was instrumental in the commencement of the work of The Salvation Army here in 1985. And, over the years, continued as a supporter both financially and through the generous giving of his time and expertise. He was a member and Chairman of the Advisory Board from 1985 through the 1990’s and received the title of “Honorary Chair” and “Lifetime Member” to the board.
He was awarded the “William Booth Award” in 1987, in recognition of his outstanding humanitarian contribution to the Community of Grand Bahama and his dedication to The Salvation Army’s goals of service to man. Our visits with him were always spirited and lively; filled with stories from the past and challenges to help us work towards a better future for Grand Bahamians.
On behalf of all the Officer’s and Soldiers of The Salvation Army, we would like to extend our condolences to the Family and Friends of Sir Jack both here in the Bahamas and around the world. He will be greatly missed.
