Greg and his wife Carol, Sally and her husband Matt, Kerilee and Gary all continue to carry on their parents’ legacy in Washington state. They gave him 9 grandkids, one angel in heaven, and 9 great-grandkids. Through Jack’s adult life he worked for Tube Art electric signage and as a beloved baseball coach/umpire for Richmond Beach Little League, all while serving as an active member of the Rotary Club of Shoreline. His loyalty to the UW Huskies lived on and he became a season ticket holder for the Seahawks in their inaugural year, 1975. His passions for skiing with the Innis Arden Ski Club and tennis filled his time with many lifelong friends.
