Where things are today

Dad continues on his journey with Hospice, focusing his energy on what matters most to him: enjoying time with friends and family, staying connected, and communicating with the people he loves.

As you can imagine, this season is requiring much of his energy, so we're hoping this page can help keep everyone informed about his journey while also helping us all stay connected to Dad.

We are so grateful for the love, prayers, friendship, messages, and support that surround him. Every connection means so much to Dad and to our family.

Cousin Kim! Thanks much to you [and those who may have assisted you] for inviting us to share through this site our thoughts, prayers, photos, and stories, as a way to stay in touch with your precious dad and your equally precious family ~ Though is just be a short post, I’ll be certain to add entries over time 😊 [What a fun time our families had at your and Larry's house with the Three Kutz Brothers!] Blessings!

A little about Grandpa Jack

Married to Mary Jane in 1957. Dad to four, Grandpa to many, and still the one who keeps us all connected.

More about him

Jack learned to fly on instruments before he ever flew by sight, and his check ride ended with the chief pilot flying him into the thickest cloud he could find and saying, “get us out.” He did. Decades later he was still coaching his grandson through solo cross-countries by email. He climbed Mt. Rainier in 1974 with Harold age 14, and his daughter Kim, who was 16, and wrote it up for the Mountaineers fifty years on. Summers belong to Lake Chelan, where most of the family has a photo of themselves as a baby on his lap. He is the family's historian: the one scanning slides from forever, emailing them out with captions, and writing down the stories in “Stories for My Grandkids.” And he is a man of deep faith, who still sends what he calls a Bouquet of Truth when a verse stops him on his walk. This page is the family's way of keeping everyone close to him.
