M. Jack Takayanagi

You are remembered Rev. Jack! Your love, messages, and sermons carry forward in our memories and beliefs.

Only good memories of a great man, a family man, and a man of God.
Your sermons, kindness, and personable nature persevere. RIP Rev. Jack!

Thank you for being our friends and marrying us. You were always in our thoughts.

A humble man that represented all that is good in life. Always in our hearts.

Dear Paul, Deak, and Family,
When you know the son, you know the father. What a fine man Jack must have been--wise, talented, devoted, helpful, supportive. Our sympathy extends to you at this difficult time.

We got to know Jack and Mary walking at Washington Square in the early AM and had the opportunity to share a few meals with them over the years. We also were lucky to have helped with a few projects. We will miss Jack's radiant smile and subtle sense of humor.

In 1985 when I began as Executive Director of Fresno Metro Ministry, California, Jack was a member of the Metro Board of Directors. It was primarily Jack's vision for the future of Fresno Metro Ministry that I took as my "marching orders". I was always appreciative of Jack.
