Jack is survived by his two sons Timothy and Patrick (Katie), his cherished granddaughters Makayla and Paityn, his former wife and dearest friend Joanne, many nieces, nephews, extended family and many loving friends that mourn his passing. He is pre-deceased by his sisters Eileen, Florence and Mildred (Millie), and his brothers John, Bill and Owen (Mac).Jack grew up in San Francisco where he treasured his friends and family, and his days at Poly High. He proudly served our country as a U.S Marine during the Korean War. Jack was retired from Teamsters Local 484. Jack was a devoted friend, father, and grandfather. If he was in your corner, you had an advantage. Jack's passion, friendship, humor and smile will be missed by many, but his spirit will remain through the lives of those that loved him.
