Jack H. Earnest

I was Jack’s Meals on Wheels delivery driver for many years. Initially I delivered to both Pat & Jack. Later just Jack. Jack would watch for me & was usually half way down the driveway before I could get out of the car. He told me that he enjoyed “ EVERY “ day of his 40 year career at the railroad. Wow, how many people can say that?? Told me lots of great railroading stories including the tragic day when his brother died on the job. Told me what an adventure he had hitchhiking out to PDX...

Jack Earnest was a man of great character who will always be remembered for his kindness. He was a close friend of my dad starting with the love of Model Ts. My thoughts are with his loving family and friends. Sincerely, Jan Stone LaVoie

I knew Jack and Pat since I was born. I attended Laurelwood Church all my life until it's closure. I am Etta Moore's daughter - Pat's best friend. Recently I had been thinking of Jack hoping he was well or gone on to be with Pat and his friends. He was a wonderful loving giving man, and I miss him and Pat very much. I often think of them with love and laughter - we had many wonderful times together working at the church and other places we would help at. Jack was always helping - you...

What a remarkable life! His service to others obviously inspired his son Bob's dedication to our community.
