My Uncle Jack was an amazing man with a wonderful joy for family and life! I spent many summers with my brothers and sisters exploring the hills of Molson and enjoying a milkshake with uncle Jack at the general store across the street from his molson home. This was our family vacation every summer!
Another memory I must share with you to show you his sense of humor...our family had gone to Hay for one of our vacations and I will never forget being out for a drive with uncle Jack when he stopped his truck and had all 5 of us kids get out of the back and ride on the top of his truck...i can remember holding on to this metal bar laying on my stomach and just so happy I wasn't one on the outside!
I will never forget you Uncle Jack and thank god for the time and memories we shared!

Jack was a memorable teacher that I had for 3 years. We remember Mr. McCullough from our days at Molson School, where he was a well-liked teacher. Mr. McCullough taught many valuable lessons, including how to tan deer hides, how to build a running electric motor. He was a flexible guy who could do the Vietnamese squat, and handstands and all. It has been good to stay in touch with him over the years. He will be missed. Martin Ray Shaw, Molson, WA & David Shaw, Colville, WA
