He is also survived by his children: John (Peg) Westom Jr. of Hibbing, Rebecca (Greg) Berg of Fergus Falls, Rochelle Hill of Lake Wood, Wash., and Colleen (Rich) Alfano of Baxter; eight grandchildren, and 16 great-grandchildren who would refer to him as "The Great One." He is also survived by his sister, Judy; along with numerous nieces and nephews.
Jack was preceded in death by his parents, Clarence and Mamie; and sisters, Donna and Mary Lou.
The family would like to thank the wonderful staff at St. Mary's/Essentia Hospice in Duluth for their excellent care and compassion.
