Rita and family, Those we have laughed with, learned from, leaned on and loved, leave us the very best memories. Although this is an incredible loss, everyone can cherish the wonderful memories and appreciate the time Jack shared with each of us. Love to you all, Steve and Pam Moore

I'm saddened to hear a great family Icon like Uncle Jack has left the party - Uncle Jack has given me many great memories, laughs and acts of kindness. The truth be told - I believe Uncle Jack and Aunt Rita are a big part of my being apart of this family. Look forward to seeing him again by his big fishing hole in the sky. Love & Prayers, Hugs & Kisses

Sorry we could not be with you.

Laurie, Mark & the Stump Bunch

Rita, our love to you and yours. We will miss Jack dearly. My favorite recollection is when mom and I came for a visit over New Year's many years ago, and Jack dressed as Baby New Year and wore a diaper! HAAA! It was also Super Bowl time and Jack took my Bronco cap and painted it the color of the Seahawks! I've never known anyone who lived his life more fully...and made the most out of every moment. He is a great inspiration to all. Big hugs, Deidre and Michael

We grieve with his family the loss of our most wonderful friend, a very thoughtful husband, a great father and the epitomy of a super-great grandpa. We will miss Jack forever. May he catch the biggest king salmon that Heaven has to offer. We love the entire family to the moon and back. Love Tim, Trudy, Ross and Thain.

To Aunt Rita and family- I have so many fond memories of Uncle Jack. I remember when I got out of the Navy and you took me in with open arms. Uncle Jack gave me advice and wisdom in life that I will never forget. I also had the chance to get to know my cousins and know more about the “Coy “clan. The camping trips, the laughs, and all the jelly Uncle Jack could eat...these are the things I'll
