Jack Goodwin Obituary

"Home at Last" Grateful thanks to caring friends who expressed concern for Jack''s sudden passing of a massive heart attack, Saturday, Oct. 9, 2010, at home in Nevada with his wife, Marianne Nevling, at his side. Jack found joy in bringing them to beauty, health and a serving community with many caring loving friends. Their home in Carson City was an area where Jack lived, worked and hiked some 20 years ago.  He will be remembered as gentle, kind and friendly. A celebration of his life was held at both family''s homes, and Jack was honored on Veterans Day at their Clubhouse. A chapel memorial was held at the Reno Veterans Hospital, to where donations can be mailed in Jack''s honor c/o Chaplain Conway, Reno Veterans Hospital, Reno NV 89502.

Marianne, we were so sorry to hear of Jack's passing. He was a great friend to our late mother, Rosie Butikofer, for over 30 years and was always there when she had to go to the hospital, needed a ride or some other help. It was a great comfort to know he was nearby. What a kind and gentle man. We will all miss him very much. My two brothers and our wives and children send our sympathy. Russ and Pat
