He was born on October 23, 1949, in Athens, Greece, to Margaret and Dr. Harry McCann. He leaves his beloved wife, Katie; their two daughters, Megan (Jennie) and Allie (Rob); and grandchildren Storey, Marlo, Edison, and Taiga.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Following in the footsteps of his father and grandfather, Jack pursued a career in medicine. He graduated from the medical school of Trinity College, Dublin, and came to Canada to complete his internship at North York General Hospital in Toronto. He went on to qualify as a radiologist at the Toronto General Hospital, with part of his training in Johannesburg, South Africa.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a young man, he visited Muskoka with friends and fell in love with the beautiful lakes and natural landscapes, and so decided to settle in the area. Frank Henry offered Jack a position at the South Muskoka Memorial Hospital in 1980, which he gladly accepted. Jack went on to dedicate his entire career to SMMH, spending over 38 years in practice there. He loved working in a hospital where everyone knew one another, and enjoyed the collaboration with medical staff over complex cases. He was proud to expand the imaging department from a plain film X-ray service to a modern facility offering a full range of imaging modalities and many diagnostic procedures. He particularly appreciated the constancy and support of the medical imaging staff who made his work a pleasure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He met his wife, Katie, on a sailboat in Lake Muskoka, and they married three months later. They were best friends for 43 years and shared a love of history, politics, music, and family. Jack retired in 2018 and moved to Peninsula Lake in Huntsville. After the pandemic, Jack and Katie began to travel to the United States and England on a frequent basis to visit their daughters and grandchildren. Jack was thoroughly enjoying his life at the time of his death, and this is a blessing for which his family will be eternally grateful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Arrangements have been entrusted to&nbsp;the&nbsp;Reynolds&nbsp;Funeral&nbsp;Home, 1 Mary Street,&nbsp;Bracebridge&nbsp;on&nbsp;Sunday, August 4<sup>th<\/sup>, with visitation at Reynolds from 1 to 2pm, followed by a&nbsp;service of readings and shared memories&nbsp;at 2pm. Burial&nbsp;to&nbsp;follow immediately afterwards at St. Joseph\u2019s Catholic Cemetery. A reception will be held at the Pasta Tree and Smokehouse restaurant at Quality Inn (formerly Riverside Inn) from 3:30 to 5:30 pm. Please join the family for any or all of these events. In lieu of flowers, donations in Jack\u2019s memory to South Muskoka Memorial Hospital Foundation would be appreciated.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<h5 style=\"text-align: center;\">Don\u2019t miss out on Doppler!<\/h5>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Sign up <a href=\"https:\/\/doppleronline.ca\/huntsville\/dont-miss-out-on-doppler\/\"><u>here<\/u><\/a> to receive our email digest with links to our most recent stories.<br \/>\nLocal news in your inbox so you don&#8217;t miss anything!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a style=\"background: #5cb85c url('https:\/\/d1iczxrky3cnb2.cloudfront.net\/red_logo.png') no-repeat 37px; color: #fff; text-decoration: none; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; display: inline-block; font-size: 16px; padding: 15px 38px; padding-left: 75px; -webkit-border-radius: 2px; -moz-border-radius: 2px; border-radius: 2px; box-shadow: 0 1px 0 0 #1f5a89; text-shadow: 0 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.3);\" href=\"https:\/\/donorbox.org\/support-huntsville-doppler\">Click here to support local news<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><broadstreet-zone zone-id=\"45657\" keywords=\"\" soft-keywords=\"true\" zone-alias=\"\"><\/broadstreet-zone>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dr. William (Jack) McCann died on July 28, 2024, at home in Huntsville, Ontario,&nbsp;in his 75th year.
