I worked with Jack at the French Camp Fire Department for several years. They were probably the best years that I spent there. Jack had a way of getting things done as a leader without getting mad or upset at someone. He had our respect for that. He was always calm when responding to a fire, something that I tried to learn from him over time. He made work not seem like work as we would do some pretty crazy things at the fire station from time to time. A food fight comes to mind that involved spaghetti and another fighter who shall remain nameless to protect the not so innocent. Anyway, Jack had a passion for refurbishing old cars from what they were to something completely different. As he did with a race car that looked like a small Indy car. I painted it and helped him make it street legal complete with a VIN # issued by the CHP. We had a blast driving it around town and getting stopped by Stockton PD, CHP and the Sheriff. We never got cited, but made some cop's really mad because we knew the CA. vehicle code as well (sometimes better) than they did concerning the car. His other passion was buying and selling just about anything. He loved going to garage sales and picking up something and reselling it, he had the nick name of "Jack the Junker". He opened two antique stores in Stockton and also sold items on Ebay. Jack always had something going on. He will be missed. Edwin Oyler Stockton, Ca.
