In memory of
John and Bev Bitzegaio

Jack will be greatly missed and fondly remembered. He always had an interesting story, and of course, a repertroire of jokes. He lived long enough that he had to resort to 3x5 cards to prompt him on the jokes, but he never needed notes when it came to debating politics.
Our love and thoughts are with all of you.

Peg,
I am so sorry to her of Jack's passing. Please know you are in my heart and prayers at this difficult time. Although I have not seen Jack in years, I do hold fun and festive thoughts of your visits out West, he was a delightful man. Please pass along my condolences to the rest of your family. Lots of love!

I am so sorry for your loss. Jack will be one of my brightest memories of my days in the pallet industry. My thoughts and prayers are will you all.

Col Thornton was an outstanding man and a proud citizen. He spoke at our high school's first Veterans Day program in 2005; the students and AFJROTC cadets were all very impressed. In my all too brief interactions with him, I learned a great deal. All of us are better for having known him.

Like I said, Jack got a lot of mileage out of his life, he didn't miss much did he? I will forward this information to the West Coast relatives. Our thoughts are with you all and we hope you are able to treasure the memories. You gotta love a man who will go after a grizzly bear with a big flashlight, flies fighter planes and will sit in the passenger seat when his father-in-law is driving! Bless his heart, we'll miss him. Aunt Linda

Jack was my girl friend's father, my father in-law, my daughter's grandfather, my boss and my friend. Jack had alot of saying's, but the one I will always remember and is how I believe he lived much of his life; "you pass this way but once and if you don't have a little fun along the way you're a damm fool"
All he touched will miss him.

Peggy,
I'm really sorry for your loss. You and Jack were my favorite customers at Honey Creek West 8 Theatre. I've missed seeing the both of you.
Always looked forward to his smile and jokes. Bet you had your hands full with Jack those 53 years.

My deepest sympathy to the entire Thornton family. Growing up living across the street I remember the fun times working with Jack in the yard. He always made it fun for a kid and I always like spending time with the family!
