Not sure what to say?

Jack Jansma was a special friend of mine, initially we met regarding aprieta shotguns. We hunted together many times in Hungary, Scotland, Scotland, Argentina, Bolivia, and other countries in South America. We shared many adventures and Jack was a super great friend of mine. It is with deep regrets that I hear about his passing. Wayne H. W. Latta

Norma and I have many fond memories of sailing on 2 50' sailboats in Greece in 1999, road tripping in southern France in 2000, trips to Stafford Ontario in the early 2000's building houses with scotty, A great time was had by all. We enjoyed many glasses of wine with Jack.

I´m so sorry to hear about Jack. He was such a great guy and always had the best stories when I would visit with him. I was just thinking about him a couple weeks ago and again just the other day! . Prayers to the family

So sorry to hear of Jack's passing. He was a good friend for a number of years when I was the art director for Shooting Sportsman magazine. Our booths at trade shows always ended up adjacent or across from one another at the Vintage Cup, SCI, the Upper Peninsula shoots, etc. We spent many pleasant hours chatting, sharing dinners and lunches. He was always a gentleman and had such a great twinkle in his eye!

Sorry I am not able to attend the service for your Dad and Grandpa. Jack had a strong faith in God and the power of prayer. It's assuring to know I'll see him in heaven some day. From, one of his brothers in Bible Study at First Pres. Church. God Speed.

Wish to express our sympathies to Jack´s family. So sorry we will not be able to attend visitation or service due to prior obligations. Very much enjoyed traveling to side by side shows with Jack. We will miss Jack and his charismatic personality. We find peace in knowing Jack´s faith was in Jesus. Phil and Gayle Poortenga

Great run Jack. I have wonderful memories of our hunting trips. Will see you again sometime. You were one of a kind. George
