We remember Jack for his love of gardening, his love of reading and life long learning, his war stories and sense of humor, and the stories of the students that surrounded him. Part of his ministry to the community was in the harvest from his gardens that were always shared with the Low Income Ministry. He was a fan of Big Band Music and a stamp collector. He received certificates of appreciation from Keep Fremont Beautiful and Clarmar Elementary Science Fair, where he volunteered his time as a Judge. His wonderful pursuit of adventure and the ability to make friends of everyone he met made a difference in the lives of his family and everyone's lives he touched.
