Jack and Margaret lived there for over 25 years, making many wonderful friends through those years. Jack would always say the happiest time of his life was spent in Prescott in his mountaintop home. Jack moved to Kennewick, Wash., in 2005. Jack was a self-taught man learning masonry, carpentry and mechanics, putting it all too good use in his many homes. He had a passion for gardening. He was a kind and generous man, his friends were like family and he was always ready to help when needed.
