Centenarian John (Jack) Leslie Dods passed away on Sept.18 at the Perley and Rideau Veterans’ Health Centre in Ottawa. John was one of the last-known surviving D-Day Veterans.
Jack first tried to join the Royal Canadian Air Force at the age of 18, but was rejected because he was too slender, so he spent a summer cutting trees for Hydro Quebec to bulk up enough in order to qualify to become a pilot in 1939.
