intervening years.

Campaign in the Po Valley with the 91st Infantry Division.

Odd Fellows, Native Sons of the Golden West, American Legion Ed Stewart Post 
#803, Disable American Veterans, 91st Infantry Division Association and the 
Military Order of the Purple Heart.
Jack enjoyed fishing and his monthly poker games with "The Unholy Nine". He 
especially enjoyed his years of interaction and relationship with all of his 
students.
He is survived by his wife of 57 years, Dolores; his daughter, Lee Ann Molini 
Kranfinsky (Peter); son, Mark & Julia) and adopted Grandpa of Sarah Glisson. He 
was preceded in death by his parents.
