Jack Allain

I´ve been scuba diving with Big Jack in Cozumel and Belize and always enjoyed his huge personality. I managed the Bamboo Reef dive shop which I where I met him but only just now found his obituary and learned of his passing. Godspeed, Jack. I will never forget you. A note to the family: I am writing a memoir of trying to pursue a life diving and Jack plays a part in two of my stories. Let me know if anyone would like a link to see the book when finished mid 2025.

How could we ever forget you Jack? NO WAY - our fondest memory goes back to one of the Christmas' (maybe 2002) when you paid Steve $100 to go into the Polar Bare Plunge - No way Steve was going to let that one go by. Also, remember the love you had for Barb - now the 2 of you are together. Love, Dolly & Chuck

Big Jack is still often remembered and quoted for his straight forward wisdom, good humor and friendship.

Dear Allain Family,
Please accept my deepest sympathy on the loss of your loved one, Jack. May you find consolation in the fond memories of your dear one along with comfort from the Most High-for “He is healing the brokenhearted ones, and is binding up their painful spots.” –Psalm 147:3

Jack was someone who took time to listen to others which is so important. I counted him as a friend. He imparted his wisdom to me which helped. Kathy Olsen

Ryan I'm sorry for the loss of your dad. I hope you are full of good memories to carry with you for the rest of your life.
Your old Mercy friend from highschool....Jennie

All of my "Big Jack" memories are good: The time at pier 64 when he directed me to join him in a helicopter, but the pilot intervened that because of our size we must go seperately! The time he asked Marilyn to balance the oven on the edge of the cabinet while I corrected a bad connection! The oversize door to his office at Pier 38! RIP Big Jack. Ken Manley, Pacifica.

R.I.P., Big Jack.
