Jack farmed and raised cattle for 61 of his 77 years on this earth.
He enjoyed helping friends and family. One act of kindness was demonstrated when he donated land for the Farwell Fire Department.

He also got great satisfaction by restoring land and memorable structures such as the cobble stone house to their natural beauty.
His laughter and kindness will be missed by many.
