Jack and I became friends when he trained me to be his replacement as the CFO of Holland Motor Homes. In spite of his failing health at the time, I was struck and inspired by his cheerfulness. Over the years we remained close; he loved to hear amusing stories of the dealership and the doings of his many friends and former colleagues. We also bonded about sports generally, particularly the NFL. Each year we would "bet" on the games every week, and keep a running tally of the results. At season's end, the loser was obligated to buy tickets for a Padres game, attended together, so the winner could celebrate the season spoils. I thought I knew a lot about pro football, have paid close attention my entire life. And while standings between us were often close, I was never able to beat Jack over the course of a full season! Not once in 15 years!! He was mysteriously good at picking games...not an easy thing to do. The photo here was from our outing to see the Padres last year, Jack's final victory celebration. He was a shining light and I miss him greatly.
I loved Jacks sweet demeanor, and joyful attitude every time we came to visit. He will be so missed. I can picture his beautiful smile as he entered Heaven, free from his illness forever! We love you Jack❤️
We have such fond memories of Jack when the family spent their time in Pa while he was stationed here. Such great memories of soccer tournaments with all our children and spending time together as families. Our visit to Coronado in 2008 was also a great time with you all. We are so thankful to have had Jack and Janet as wonderful friends for life. Jack was a great man and will be missed. Prayers to Janet and the family. Love you guys
