Not sure what to say?

Still have fond memories of Jack.

Merry Christmas to Cindy and all in Humboldt !! Larry Jones

Jack once told me:

"Secretariat is almost everything I am not. He is young, he has lots of hair, he is fast, he has a large bank account and his entire sex life is before him."

Rest in Peace , my man, I will miss you.

So sorry to here of your loss,Jack was such a kind person,always willing to help those in need.

There isn't a day that goes by that I'm not lonely without you.Now all I have are the memories. We had a wonderful life together. I miss you so. Until we meet again.
Cindy

Hi Cindy and Mike and the rest of the Retzloff family. I worked for Jack for 8 years and have many fond memories of his double friendly approach to life. What a great character.

To all the family of Jack,I had pleasure of being accepted into the Retzloff fam' in the 60's as a kid.What a wonderful group.I always remember Jack after a late night card game,singing "You are nobody til somebody loves you...somewhere...sometime...somehow,to the displeasure of so many campers,loudly. Love to all the FAMILY, Michael Spencer& Family

Retzloff Fam'
It's been an honor to have known Jack for almost my entire life. He was the epidomy of 'cool'. I will forever be grateful for the many years at the races with Jack, his good advice, and sometimes not so good - Although his tip at the Santa Rosa Fair 'Go for 4 and you wont go Poor' will always be etched in my mind, as it won me a nice chunk of change!! It was also so much fun to hit a couple of poker tourneys in the last years with Jack and Doo. His life truly was lived...

Dear Cindy & Family,
We are so sorry to hear of Jack's passing. May you find some comfort in all of your memories. He was one of a kind and I know he will be greatly missed. On an upbeat note, I know Roy was happy to see him. They are probably raising havoc up there, playing cards and running the races. Our deepest sympathy. Love Cheryl & Steve
