Jack Dierdorff

Jack L. DIERDORFF Jack was born in Wolf Point, Montana on August 24, 1918. He was raised in Surrey, North Dakota. He graduated from the University of Washington in 1940. When Pearl Harbor was bombed, Jack enlisted in the Army, and shipped out on the Queen Mary. In 1945, he met Wanda McCrillis, a cadet nurse, and they married on Easter Sunday, April 1, 1945, also April fool's day, but their marriage was no joke, lasting 64 years. Jack began his career at the Metropolitan Building Corp. and worked there until 1953, leaving to help form what became Unico Properties. He proudly served as the International President of BOMA from 1977-1979. He retired from Unico as Executive Vice President in 1983, and then helped form Sekotac Investments. He retired (again) at age 74; 50 years in commercial real estate and leadership positions in civic organizations. Jack's core values were to treat all people the same and to tell it like it is. He is survived by his wife Wanda; his children Jack Jr (Nancy), Dan (Laurel), Michael (Linda), and Lisa (Darren); and his grandchildren Ryan (Jolene), Kelly, Rita, Tyler, Dan, Flora and Kai. He was preceded in death by a grandson David and a granddaughter Jennifer. A family celebration of life will occur at a later date. Remembrances may be sent to the 101 Club Foundation, Evergreen Hospice, or Minot State University. Please sign the online guest book and read more about Jack's story at: www.ASacredMoment.com
