Not sure what to say?

Knowing Jack was one of the best experiences of my life. Jack and I served as directors on the board of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Seattle and also on the Board a Weyerhaeuser sponsored REIT. I had the privilege of appointing Jack as the chairman of the board of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Seattle. Jack, Doctor Jan and their son John, along with their magnificent Bernese mountain dog made a wonderful family. Remembrance of Jack always brings me great pleasure, he was a man for all...

Even though time has passed I still frequently think of Jack. Every memory brings warmth and comfort.

Jack was a major influence in my life. He was a great man and a great friend. I met Jack about 1970 and had many adventures with him for the next 20 years. I have never forgotten his calm, kind, loyal approach to business and his personal life. My condolences to Jan and the family, what a loss you have experienced. Hopefully there is solace in having had so many years with a truly great man.

Thank you for your service

Jack was an inspiration both at Weyerhaeuser when he presented me with the Presidents Award and attending Pack 362s Blue & Gold Banquet where my Cub Scouts had him up with our parent volunteers doing the monkey skit. I will miss you!

Jack was a real prince.

There are not enough words or space to fully express my deep sadness over the loss of Jack Creighton, or to do justice to his great accomplishments and the many lives he positively impacted. He was a remarkable man that accomplished so much and made our community and our country better.
Over a span of 40 years he was my colleague, my CEO, my boss and my friend. His contributions to the success of Weyerhaeuser Real Estate and to Weyerhaeuser Company are remarkable.
I so appreciated...
