Read MoreOur deepest condolences to the family. We met "Uncle Jack" "Aunt Dolly" and Mark when they were on Northern Lights. My daughter Augustina was just a baby. Both my daughters Agatha and Augustina called him "Uncle Jack". They were such a great family. We will definitely miss him when we come up to AK to visit.

Jack was a great person he treated everyone with respect and loved his customers at Tudor Road Bingo. When my parents passed on we received flowers from him.

Jack was my journeyman in the late 70s when a female apprentice wasn't very popular. He was so good to me, smart and so funny. Always had something up his sleeve! RIP my friend

I did not know Jack personally but I am friends with his step-father John down here in Pittsburgh. John always spoke highly of Jack.

We had some wonderful phone conversations together after it was all over. I appreciated his sense of humor; his generosity to others; and his overall character. He will be...

Jack was indeed a generous active and pleasant man . Hard working
and a great competitor. He was interested in Alaska and loved being
the "MAN:" when it came to helping several charities.
A worthy soul who now will probably organize Heavens first Bingo Game.
