John Clay "Jack" Tragis

Happy Birthday Jack! Sure miss you down here Buddy. Really miss you at the campfire. Nate

Jack was one of the best men walking and talking. Not many with the great qualities he had. Miss him, a very special man.

I was jack´s sister in law. He was so kind and open to life´s crooked road. Always had a positive outlook. And always gave God the glory. I miss his guidance and dear voice. He was a good man.

Jack possessed so much joy, everything he did he did with joy. One of the finest men I have had the pleasure of meeting and being with. Beautiful family, friends everywhere we went. He should be an angel.

As an employee of Alaska Pipe and Supply, latter Ferguson Ent.) I was privilaged to associate with Jack in his capasity at College Utilities and was often in is office try to negosiate a deal to sell the supplies they needed. I remembe him at the UAF hockey games mingeling amoung the fan's and players alike ESPECIALLY when Notre Dame was in town for a series My prayers to his family. You los a great man.

Jack was one of the nicest people I had the pleasure of knowing. We met t the Physical Fitness Center on FWW. Jack was always up for a game of racquetball, he was one of the true pioneers that wouldn´t let that sport die. He had such a long wingspan it was hard to get balls by him. My favorite part was watching him slide around the floor on that one knee pad he would always wear. I had the pleasure of knowing both him and his beautiful wife, Darlene, they were pillars in the Fairbanks...

Jack was truly an amazing man. I watched and played many racquetball games with him at the Fort Wainwright Fitness Center. If he couldn´t find someone to play he would come in my office and convince me to come out play a few games. I always enjoyed playing but mostly how he would always visit with anyone while waiting for the next game/court.

So sorry to learn of Jack's passing. I only met him briefly when he and Darlene first moved to Fairbanks and Darlene and I worked together at First National Bank of Fairbanks. Good times come to a close, but memories last forever. Love and best thoughts, Walter Burtt & Family
