What a joy it was to have Jack and Wilma, and of course Felix, for friends and neighbors for so many years before the Port of Seattle separated us. Right now I am seeing Wilma sitting in the sunporch with a beer and reading a book – Jack is on the mower, hat on, getting ready to finish up, put all of Wilma’s yard toys back in place, have a beer and head on to Ann’s Tavern !! We hold the dearest memories of Jack and Wilma. Sincerely, Pegi Kobela and Glenn Brink
Greg & I have known Jack & Wilma for probably 30 years. Although we didn’t know them well, it seemed Jack was a gentle man, and also very much a gentleman. He will be missed by many friends as well as family.
