Jack was strong-willed and hard-working all his life.In 1941, at the age of 18, he hitchhiked to Alaska after graduating from Senior High School.During his one-year stay, he worked on the Alaska railroad and then joined the Merchant Marines for duty during World War II.While stationed in New York City, a young Mary Yurasits caught his eye at a service men's cantine.

Bad weather made for good hunting "Cause nobody else is going to be out there," he'd say.In the summer, he and Mary would be found camping and fishing from sun-up to sundown. He was always afraid to quit early, he might miss out on the big one.Jack loved to share his catch at his annual smoked fish gatherings for family, friends and neighbors. A good time was had by all.He was preceded in death by his mother, Minna Lewis; a special aunt, Martha; an infant son; and two infant grandsons; and his special hunting dog, Shotzie.Online condolences may be sent to [email protected] family wishes to thank the staff at Manor Care for their kindness to Jack and his family over the past 10 years of his stay.We wish you eternal peace, Dad. When it comes to fishermen, you know you're now with the best! Happy fishing "¦ Happy hunting! Take all the time you want!
