John Platts Obituary
1933-2015
John "Jack" William Platts died May 9th after a courageous fight against multiple myeloma. Jack was preceded in death by his son John Richard, and survived by his wife Lorraine of 60 years, daughters Deborah Platts, Cheryl Platts Moulden and her husband James Moulden, Sr., grandchildren Eric Kubena, James Moulden, Jr., Shelby Moulden and many loving friends and extended family members.
Jack was born in Pittsburgh, PA in 1933 and lived there until relocating with Gulf Oil/Chevron in 1974 to Houston. He had a special talent for wood working projects and it brought him great joy to design, build and share his projects with friends and family.

Dear Lorraine and family,
Our deepest condolences for the loss of a dear husband, father and grandfather. We have a collection of his skilled wooden handiwork in our possession and will cherish them as a fingerprint of one of his many God given talents. As a neighbor, he was the BEST.
May you all find God's Peace in knowing he has been greatly rewarded in Paradise. Ron and Romona Zagone Cypress Texas
