A darn good friend. Jack's paintings, 5, hang proudly in my home. My wife Lynne and I miss our time with Jack and Sally at his studio and have great memories of his trip into our Roostercomb Ranch located in south east Stanislaus County California. Jack took a walk up the Orestimba Creek and was gone a long time. The night before my son Scott told him of a huge renegade Mexican steer that roamed Coe Park which adjoins us. Months later Jack phoned me and said to get my butt up to his ranch....

"Well, ol' Son... I guess I'll be movin' on. You got any of that Skoal on you, now? Time to get back to the studio. I'm working on a big one. Take care, Adios ol' boy."
(Now that's how I remember Jack)

Jack I miss you so much, life isn't the same without you. I miss our talks , I miss being able to lean on you in bad times and good. You were the only one that could comfort me at Don's off to Army party, and that was a hard one! You would be so proud of the young man he has become! It isn't fair that your not here for him to ride, hunt ,shoot and most of all learn from to pass on to his children! I miss and love you so much

Sally & family. I was blessed to have met both you and Jack. I remember fondly delivering flowers to the ranch and Sally you gave me a tour, even though you didn't know me. What a kindness. I am sorry that I did not know of the memorial, as I would have been there to personally give my condolences to you and the family. Jack was such a great man - my he rest in peace.

Iam very sorry for his leaving the ranch. My mom Betty Baldwin My grandmother Irene Baldwin & dad Ed Lucas all knew him. What a hand. Many talents to share. I will always love his art.
Always appreciate his art god bless.

We are saddened by the news of Jack's passing and will remember him by the sketch he gave our parents.

We will miss him . Sally we will be thinking of you. Only learned today from Todd Kenyon about this. Please accept our real sorrow!!

I had od only the pleasure of meeting Uncle Jack a few times and one of them was at his home/ranch many years ago with my Grandma Betty. I was so amazed at his studio and the beauty of his home. Both him and Sally were so warm and inviting and I loved spending time and getting to know my extended family. My heart goes out to Sally and the family. Wish we could have spent more time and made more trips to visit.
My Grandma Betty would share stories of Jack and Reed I will always cherish...

Sally and children: Just found out of Jack's passing. What memories we have for the long years we have known one another. May the Lord comfort you especially knowing you will see one another again. Love Renee Tomasini Allison
