Not sure what to say?

We will miss you very much, Grandpa. We love you.
Alisha Lower and family

A friend recently said, "Long before we're ready, we sadly say goodbye. But there are those in a far more beautiful place who are saying, 'welcome home.'" Last week, Jack went Home.

The "Commander" was my dad for the last 19 years (since the passing of my father). I was not ready to say "goodbye" to my dad, Jack. However, I know he is in a place of Love and Light. I'll miss him greatly. Since his passing, I have felt that familiar and uncomfortable void, yet again.

I miss my dad.

Grandpa-
I am not sad for the loss that we have endured from your death, but from the memories that I have of how wonderful you are.
I know you are in a better place physically and spiritually. I will see you again when the time is right.
I love you so much.

Several years ago I had the pleasure of working for Jack & Elaine in doing some upgrades to there home when they moved to Redding. Jack was a very pleasant gentleman with a big heart and a source of great inspiration. They became good friends and Jack will be missed by me and my wife. Our hearts go out to Elaine and the rest of his family as he continues his journey.

In our limited associations through the years the most apparent and wonderful characteristic of Jack Young in my eyes was his appreciation and gratitude for his family. This was evident in his support of Elaine's "Elaine's" going way back to the Valley years.
love to the fam-

I was blessed to have known him in his better days, before the suffering and changes he went through. We know now he is not suffering, which is a true blessing. Always kind when he had visitors, and always friendly to all. My prayers go out to all the family, as they are very special. I hope the grief of loseing someone so special in your lives is comforted by knowing his suffering is gone. He will be sorely missed. Blessings to you, Jack, as one of the kindest, most intelligent people...

My heart goes out to you Elaine, Patty and ALL your family. Jack was truly an amazing man, and you will miss him dearly, I know. Just love each other - more than ever - and you will get through this difficult time. Call me any time you like - just to talk - cry - scream - whatever.

I am so proud of my Grandpa and honored to have his blood. I am going to miss him so much, and his sense of humor. He was a great man with an incredible story. I love you and miss you Grandpa!
