He passed away in 1982 at the young age of 67. Although that seems young to head across the rainbow bridge, Dad had a full life, having served in the Second World War, married to my mom in 1938 and had four children which gave him great pride. After his Naval Career, he became a power systems engineer for a California-based Telephone Company.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Jack,&#8221; as he was known, loved his family, was a good Christian and voted Republican.
