>> JOHN VALASEK OBITUARY <<

God needed Jack and did not want him to suffer in pain any longer and so
he called him home to be with him.

He was born in South Milwaukee, Wisconsin Jan. 26, 1938 to John Sr. and
Vera Valasek. He married Margot Novara on January 9th 1960. He worked at
Ladish until moving the family to Huntington Beach, California in 1962.
He later worked and retired from Schlosser Forge in Rancho Cucamonga as
vice president of sales in 1993. That same year Jack and Margot moved to
Lake Havasu City to live out their retirement. Jack worked in real
estate for a short while in Lake Havasu City, until he decided that he'd
rather play golf.

Jack played golf every day, perfecting his game to championship status.
Jack was an avid fisherman his whole life and a diehard Green Bay
Packers fan until he passed. In 2013, God called his beloved wife Margot
home. Jack was a widower for a short time until he met and married
Darleen Perry of Parker, Arizona in November 2014.

Jack is survived by his loving wife, Darleen, his two sons Randy, Rory
and Rory's wife Peggy Day, three grandsons, Ryan, Garrett, and Dylan,
his sisters in law Mary Novara and Ellen. His acquired family, Nancee
Crowell of California, Juli Griffin, Lori Belden of Las Vegas and
nephew, Kenneth Thacker of North Carolina and three Great grandchildren
Henry, Ava, and Andrew of Spring Texas.

Jack was an awesome husband, father, grandfather and friend and will be
missed but never forgotten. A Celebration of Life will be held at
Calvary Baptist Church, 1605 McCulloch Blvd S. – Saturday, Oct. 8 at 11
a.m.
