Yes Nita,
Jack worked in both Tuolumne and the valley. He was living in Oakhurst.
He did enjoy going to music festivals with his daughter.
A loving father for sure.

Chilly,
Jack was a great guy, kind of quiet and unassuming..always kind.
Very sad to see a photo of him in a hospital bed on life support..
A friend of mine asked me if i had a picture of him and i don't..Can you please post up a picture of him?.
Wish i could honor him and go to his memorial, i have plans to be in Sacramento that day....Also do you have his daughters snail mail address? You can email me her address if you want that info private,,my email is on my profile.

I'm so sorry to hear this, I worked in the TM store in the early 90's and would run into him from time to time in Oakhurst since then. He was just a solid, all around good person and my wife and I were always happy to run into him. We'd stand in the aisle at Von's and spend 45 minutes or an hour just catching up I tell you what, I've never seen anyone put more time and care into painting a house as him! My deepest condolences to his family and all who knew him. Godspeed, Jackness.

Jack sorry to say I never knew you...although you might have helped me back in the 80's when I bought some of the new fangled cam's in 86 in the Valley Mt. shop....
Sounds like you were a solid member of our "tribe" and many here are saying good things about you.
See you on that big bivi ledge in the sky someday.
I wish to extend my sincere condolences, to your Family and many many friends.

Chilly, Thanks for posting up a picture of Jack & his daughter...Is there any chance Jack's daughter has a picture of him from his Tuolumne/Yosemite days that she could share?
Also, there is a Yosemite group that posts up stories, pictures, memories and Obits..
It would be a good place to post Jacks passing and the gofundme memorial info..A picture of Jack from his Yosemite era included....
You can pass the info to Trisha jacob Chalk and she will post the info for you.

Will do Nita.
Gunkie, wasn't sure if the direct link to the picture of Jack in hospital was appropriate, but im sure it will get more traffic without all the steps.
Thanks
