John V. “Jack” D’Ambro, Jr., 78, died at his home, Tuesday, Nov. 7, 2017 after an extended illness in the loving company of his family. In 1998, with time and energy to spare, John and his wife bought property in Kingman, Arizona, basically desert property, had to build a road and home from scratch, dug out and made a large pond, and hosted an annual fishing tournament for kids, including handicap and ARC children. Local boys and girls clubs, church organizations and locals had use of the D’Ambro Pond for the enjoyment of fishing, something many kids had never done.
