Jack had many talents and was the voice of reason in most cases. He was a wonderful husband to my mom for over 36 years and they took good care of each other. We will miss his flute music, stories of him growing up in Oregeon and his presence. RIP Jack until we meet again.

I've known Billie before she and Jack married. When they married they shared a wonderful love and similar interest. Billie and Jack traveled to care for family and went on many adventures. They would lock up the house and go for a year at a time. My husband and Jack shared similar interest, they spent time going through coins trying to find the valuable ones. We cherish their friendship and know that Jack is finally at home with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

Thank you, Jack, for all you have done for me throughout the years. Truly, you were a "JACK OF ALL TRADES". Your skill in changing my house electric from a fuse box to circuit breakers was daring and successful..your plumbing skill of changing my copper pipes to PPVC pipes was masterfully done. Your building skills were stellar in so many projects. You were a surprising musician and your love of music was a pleasant surprise. After following your love of gold prospecting, you are now walking on streets of gold. We are left with many fond memories and look forward to joining you in our heavenly home. Thank you, Jack.
