Jack was such a huge part of my life. Memories of spending holidays at Aunt Mabel and Uncle Harold’s always included the Balls and what great times we had! Please know that I’m sending hugs and prayers. We are so sorry. Love, Cindy

Dee, Linda, Rick. Tammy, Lori and NancySo sorry to hear of Jack’s passing. He was always such a kind and sharing man, he had a harder shell at times but he really cared about people and clearly prioritized his family. I have a lot of fond memories living with Jack and Rick in Tukwilla and hanging out with your family. When we worked together Jack demonstrated a lot of faith in me and gave me a lot of responsibility. He gave me the opportunity to grow, learn new things and encouraged me to have faith in myself and my decision making. I learned a lot from him and he made a difference in my life. I’ll be thinking of Jack and your family and wish you the best in this tough time in your lives. My condolences
Dave
