I am so sorry to hear about Jack. Us Meyers boys and girl were very close to the Bakers when we were growing up. We lived up the street from them and had the exact same family size of 4 boys and 1 girl. We were also all the same age. Rest in Peace Jack.
So sorry to hear about the loss of your dear family member. Hopefully the promises from the Bible about seeing our loved one’s again will bring comfort. John 5:28-29 states: ” Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out, those who did good things to a resurrection of life…”
One of my best friends in school. I haven’t seen him in years but so often think about him and his family. Great people. So very sorry.
Jeez what a shocker. It was a pleasure working with you Jack. I am glad I got to work with you recently at Shell. It gave us a chance to catch up. My condolences to his family. Jack will be missed
Jack and the Baker family have been family friends forever and a Day. Even know we live far they are always close to our hearts. Jack o buddy you will be missed by many.
Rest in peace Jack! You always made the work place fun with your rough and tumble attitude. I remember watching you climb around some steel supports back in the 94 shutdown at shell, thinking you were nuts! Its been years since I have seen you, but you are gone too soon.
Rest easy Jack.
So very glad that Carla & I were able to see Jack in 2014 when we were in Washington. He was a very special person & cousin. Even though we lived in Iowa & he was in Idaho & Washington, it was like we were never apart when we did get to visit. Wish we could have had more time together. The many memories made over the years will keep him close in my heart. He will be missed greatly. Prayers of comfort & lots of love to his family & wife Kerri & his kids.
Had a great time working with Jack this past year, gonna miss seeing you Brother, Rest in Peace!
