Not sure what to say?

I have many great memories of my Uncle Jack who brought a piece of home to my Mom, Bette (his sister)), with his overnight visits when he had a flight to one of the airports close to our homes in Pittsburgh and Smithtown (NY) where my Dad had been transferred after leaving Seattle. I remember his great jokes and the way he told them with a serious and straight face, and his great smile. He and my Mom spent hours talking late into the night sharing family updates and reminiscing about their...

I always admired Mr. Broomfield. He was gentle and kind. I knew he and Mrs. Broomfield because Nancy was my best friend and I spent a lot of time in their home in Sharon Heights. I traveled to Hawaii with them once as well. May he Rest In Peace. Love to all of the family!

Jack, God Speed on your final flight, your greatest journey. You left this world a better place, proudly served your country, married an amazing woman and raised a wonderful family. Id say a full, rich life, well lived. Thank you for the many kindnesses and friendship you showed the Hook family over the years. Our lives are forever intertwined. Love always. The Hooks.

Jack was my friend. The laughter we shared together are cherished memories. I know Jack has taken his " earthly wings" and flown above the clouds and onto the next phase of his journey. Jack was my friend. Rest in peace.

I have warm memories of meeting and getting to know Mr. Broomfield many years ago when he and his family lived in Menlo Park. I remember him as a great man of integrity and faith (and clearly the patriarch of the family). Years later, especially as I started my own family, I thought❤ about the great example he is/was to everyone who knew him. Heaven has gained a great one. Sending healing thoughts and prayers to his loving family.

I have fond memories of getting to visit Uncle Jack, Aunt Joanie, and my cousins in Menlo Park, CA. I enjoyed getting to hear Uncle Jack tell stories, and he had such a sense of humor. I thought he was such a cool uncle being an airline pilot and all! It has been a pleasure to see all the pictures of the trips he and Aunt Joanie took with my parents, Dave & Patty Coburn, and my Aunt Lorna & Uncle Dave. They were very close and had so many awesome adventures - a real inspiration for us all!...

ALways a smile. Always a gentleman.

y memories of Jack go as far back as I can remember. He was always smiling, always kind and generous. You are all lucky to call him Dad, and my family was exceptionally lucky to have all of you as friends. Much love and hugs your way.
