He worked on the sewer lines for the Seattle-Tacoma Airport. He took care of Charlotte for almost 15 years from strokes in their home before she passed away. Jack was hard-working, frugal, and a saver. He was also very hospitable and many people stayed at their home over the years or enjoyed his homemade hamburgers. He fixed his own and other people's cars. He was a good father and grandfather. We shall miss him.
