Jack was born in Fresno, California on January 26, 1946 and passed away with his family by his side on November 6, 2016 at the age of 70. He was loved by many and touched so many lives. His infectious personality, a voice so distinct that he could be heard miles away, a whistle that could draw a crowd, a love for sprint car racing, a loyalty and devotion to his job of 40 years at E.M. Tharp, and yelling at the 49ers will forever be missed and cherished in our hearts. Jack leaves behind his wife of 37 years Lucy, son and daughter-in-law Eric and Cindy, daughter Melissa, son and daughter-in-law Christopher and Beth, grandchildren, Shawn, Maygen, Charlee and to be named, sister-in-law Bonnie, close nieces and nephews Raymond, Sharon, and Natalie, and many nieces, nephews, cousins, and great friends.There will be a Celebration of Life held at Hadley-Marcom Funeral Chapel, 1700 W. Caldwell ave., Visalia, California, on Saturday, November 12 at 11:00 am with a reception to follow at Strings Italian Cafe, 1971 W. Caldwell Ave, Visalia, California.
