clerk at The Souvenir Barn. She lost her husband & my father in September of 2000. They had been married 61 years. She

Why is it...that all fish stories are about... |
|
...the one that got away? |
|
|
This is my Dad...Jack. |
|
In the place he loved...Canada. |
My Dad's name is Jack & that is just what he was a "Jack
of all trades." There wasn't much he couldn't do & if there was...he'd figure out a way for it to be done. He was a big
man, he cut his own firewood right up 'til the end. He'd lift logs that men 10 years his younger couldn't begin to lift. He
was a healthy robust man 'til the day he passed away at 80 years of age. No-one could ever believe that he was that old. He
worked as an Operating Engineer for many years, he was also their, Mechanic. He loved Canada, he had a cabin there &
many friends. We all miss him very much.

Our Children:
Kristina
was born in 1973, Joshua was born in 1978 & Lucas was born in 1983. Krissy was in Drama in school. Joshua's passion has
always been Art. The first year out of H.S. he started drawing Carricatures for a job & has done well with it. He played
football one year in H.S., he loves football. Lucas loved playing baseball while in school. He is now studying Wildlife Biology.
They all were great students. I'm very proud to be their Mom.
