Jack Crummett Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Jack met the best thing that ever happened to him while he was hanging on a mailbox in front of the Houston Chronicle where he and his soon to be wife, Angela, both worked and then married April 21, 1958 at Sacred Heart in Houston. In the summer of 1961, Jack took a great job at UTMB Galveston where he moved his wife and 3 of the babies to their Island home. The next two children were BOI's.
Always the active one, Jack was in the Galveston Little Theatre, clown dived down on the beach, and became Jocko the Clown at many Foley Thanksgiving Day parades. He also played fastpitch softball for years where he made longtime friends that still met for breakfast at Americas Kitchen in Galveston. Later he was a high school basketball referee, started Jack's Running Club, and always had the house decorated for every holiday.
He is survived by his 5 children: Karen and Frank, Jack and Holly, John Charles, Camille and David, and Chris and Kim; seven grandchildren: Jonathan, James Ryan, Angela, Haley, Heather Michelle, Alicia and Megan; bonus granddaughter, Heather Marie; and great grands.
Jack's family will receive visitors Thursday, February 8, beginning at 10:00 am, at Malloy & Son Funeral Home. A funeral service will begin at 11:00 am at the funeral home, followed by burial at Calvary Catholic Cemetery.
Pallbearers will be Jonathan Crummett, James Ryan Crummett, Russell "Sarge" O'Connor, Jerry Gray, John Merritt, Rick Boyle and Jeff Pennington.
