A Canadian Navy veteran of the Second World War and a career officer in the Canadian Forces, a keen athlete, “Jinx” became a popular professional boxer (50 bouts) in the Maritime Provinces when the sport was in its heyday during the 1940’s. Irwin became the first lifeguard at Brackley Beach in 1947. Following graduation from Acadia University in 1950, he was commissioned to the Royal Canadian Dragoons, serving in several posts in Canada, Europe and Africa. Posted to the Island in 1969, he was later seconded to the PEI provincial government to become the Executive Director of the 1973 Centennial celebrations that marked the Island’s 100 years in Canadian Confederation. The highly successful year-long program consisted of several hundred events, ranging from the Royal visit to national sports events and community celebrations; eight major heritage capital projects and many similar smaller projects. A familiar figure in the symbolic top hat at most events, Irwin became known as the “Smiling Father”. 

An honorary staff member to three Lieutenant Governors, Lieutenant-Colonel Jenkins arranged VIP visits to the Island, ranging from Queen Elizabeth II, to Prime Minister Trudeau who was at the peak of his popularity. Irwin later directed the conversion of the PEI Motor Vehicle Branch into the Highway Safety Division. After retirement, Irwin and his family operated the Brackley Beach drive-in theatre, a bookstore and several rental units. A Rotarian and Legionnaire, he served on various voluntary service committees throughout his active life. Ralph Irwin Jenkins, you will be greatly missed.

In the days following the declaration of war in 1939, Bob enlisted in the Fort Garry Horse Regiment. In 1941 he re-enlisted in the R.C.A.F., training in London, Ontario, and Ottawa, before receiving his wings in 1942. He received further training as a fighter-reconnaissance pilot at Rockliffe, Ont. and Debert, N.S where he met his wife-to-be. Bob next went on to serve with the 123rd Squadron in 1943.

After parachuting, he walked 23 days by night through the Burmese jungle before re-joining his squadron, a distance of over 200 miles. Bob was subsequently awarded the Military Cross and was cited for carrying out a model escape from enemy territory. Bob and Shirley initially established their family in Winnipeg, later moving to the Detroit area, then the Atlanta area, before settling in the Maritimes in 1955. It was in Halifax that Bob discovered his enthusiasm for Insurance Claims Adjusting, working throughout Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and Ontario. In 1977, Bob’s final career posting brought him to Charlottetown, P.E.I. a city and province with family connections which both Bob and Shirley eagerly embraced.
