Jack was a totally devoted husband, father, brother, grandfather and friend, always making time to help others. He will be greatly missed by those who loved him.
A true 'Jack of all trades', he was a master of them all. Jack could fix or build anything. At age twelve, he built his first motorcycle from a box of parts he bought from a friend. His interest in motorcycling continued throughout his life. He especially enjoyed the challenges of repairing non-functional items brought to him by friends and family. Electronic devices, televisions, air conditioners, and lawnmowers were his favorites. He always claimed that these activities kept him going long after retirement could have proven boring. Jack possessed an endless mental repertoire of stories and jokes and shared them skillfully with those around him. He especially looked forward to the frequent nursing home visits from his buddies Gerald Edleman and Bill Drago.
He was a 50 year member of the American Legion Hanford Post # 5 and was a member of VFW Post # 788.
Sincere appreciation is extended to Silver Pines, Willow Gardens and the Meth Wick Community Woodlands for their superior care and support for Jack and his family.
