Not sure what to say?

Jackie was two years ahead of me in Livingston High School. He graduated in 1964, played basketball, worked at Serv-all Market while attending Merced College. Drafted in 1967, he gave me the keys to his Corvette for me to sell and boy did I enjoy driving that car. HIs first assignment was stationed in Buffalo N.Y. I and a good friend hitch-hiked across the country and stayed in the barracks. About 10 years later, my family visited his family in Hawaii for a week. The last time we got together...

Jack was a great friend that when I came to Virginia, we always found time to play golf and enjoy each others time. It truly hurts to lose a great friend. He will always be remembered and upon my return we will play around of golf for my friend.

I worked with Jack while he was in "The Car Business" many years ago. Jack had many stories that he told with great enthusiasm! He was always a good listener and taught me a lot when we worked together. Of course, Jack always had a twinkle in his eye when he spoke of Judy. He was such a kind man.

Jack and I have been friends for approx 40 years. He is the most positive person I have ever met. He loves his family. He is obsessed with a beautiful yard! No weed dare grow in his presence. He planned trips to include the entire family to make wonderful memories together. His passing is a huge loss!!! The world was a better place with him in it. He so enjoyed talking with people, he had no strangers!
