Jack was like an uncle to me. I loved spending time at the Kretchman's home. I will always
remember going to "Jack's pond" for swimming, fishing for blue gills, skating, it was a favorite
place of mine growing up. Riding the ponies with Laura and Leah was always a lot of fun too. And
I will never forget his fond "putt" as he startled you from behind. I will hold onto all those great
memories, thanks Jack. My thoughts are with Kretchman family.

Some of my fondest childhood memories are of Jack barking like a dog in my ear (a trick I still use
to this day), squeezing my hand, and my first/last mohawk.

I'm truly sorry for your loss. Jack always had a firm handshake and a warm smile. I still remember
when he shaved Todd, Smitty, Brian, and my brother Jon's heads and then mine the following year.
I enjoyed seeing him at my matches, as did so many. He will missed by all. Sincerely, Matt

Karen and the kids, we are so sorry to hear the news of Jack. We are in Florida and are not able
to be with you at this time, but wanted you to know that you are in our thoughts and prayers.
Everyone that knew Jack, had at least one outlandish story to tell about Jack and his fun. We have
several that we are smiling and remembering the fun times at your house and ours. Lots of Love

Where to begin? I have so many fond memories of Laura's Dad. He was a great big bear of a man
with a heart of gold and a perpetual twinkle in his eye! He "putted" me more times than I can count
and it left such an impression on me that I taught my daughter, Katie, how to "putt" him when we
visited the Kretchman's this summer! Thinking of Jack brings a smile to my face and I think he
would like that very much.

Rememberances --- We we were kids -- swinging from the hay hook in the top of the barn and
playing tag on the beams. We all have great memories and will miss Jack.
