This is Stan Fouch with a memory of Jack. Jack kept having transmissions go out on his 47 Ford. He was well liked by all and enjoyed attending KHS `57 reunions.

So sorry to hear about Cap'tain Jack. We worked for Western Electric through the '70s. We used to go boating in Lake Camanche and the Delta sloughs north of Stockton. We vacationed in Lake Shasta. Jack and Bobbie were always good company. Jack will be missed. Rest in Peace Cap'tain.

I knew Jack in high school. He was well thought of by everyone who knew him. Jack and my brother, Stan Fouch, graduated together and stayed friends all through the years. Jack will be missed by all who knew and loved him. My sympathies go out to his family.

I'll so miss Uncle Jack! As a young kid, I loved swimming around in his pool. As an adult, I loved playing blackjack with him in Reno! I will miss him so much!

What special times we had with your fun Dad, amazing Mom and both of you at Rollins
Lake, Oroville and Folsom Lake. So much fun watching you both grow up. All of you always showed us up in the water skiing and boating skills.
So sorry for the loss of a definite legend.
Brandon sends his condolences- you were so good to him!
Many hugs, Lee and Julie
