He was a lifelong Juneau resident who was an avid mechanic and downhill skier. He was a natural at playing the piano even though he never received lessons. After graduating from Juneau High School he spent a year as a ski instructor in Sun Valley, Utah.

He is preceded in death by his wife Bette Pearl, parents Jack and Jeanette Gould, grandparents Anna and Peter Hildre, Uncles Arnold and Edwin Hildre. He is survived by his daughter Janna Marshall (Jon), son Roy Gould (Stacy), son Steve Gould (Massie), uncle Harvey Hildre (Loretta), brother Alan Gould (Carol), sister Lois Belardi (Rudy), seven grandchildren, four step-grandchildren and many nieces and nephews.

He was a good friend to my Dad, and I remember him visiting the Nowell Ave house many times. He even tried to teach me to ski one time. One time :) I'm so sorry for your loss

I remember Jackie and Alan working on cars in the alley between 11th & 12th Streets. Jack was great with a wrench.

At least now he's free from the back pain that plagued him, and in peace. He was one of our local characters, and I'll miss him.

Want to send my sympathies to my family during this sad time, and say my prayers are with you. I had a really nice visit with him last summer when we were up-took Uncle Jackie's cousin Daryl too (she was up visiting from Oregon also). He talked a lot about the old days-as I do family research & I was asking him some questions. Am especially glad now that I got to see him-certainly never thought that would be the last time-he was still such a great story teller-he got the gift from Grandpa :-)

To my dear friend Jackie, "thanks for the memories".
