Jack passed away peacefully in Kirkland, Wa on August 18, 2015 at the age of 84. He is survived by his children Jennifer Krigbaum (Jim) and Brian (Lisa) and their families, all of Woodinville, WA.
Outside of his accomplishments and places he called home, Jack was a father, friend and confidante. He was logical and intelligent, always ready to listen and help break down a problem so that it could be solved. He enjoyed theater and a night on the town, and was even a good magician. He enjoyed celebration and regularly treated his family to dinner on his own birthday at some of Seattle’s most amazing dining destinations.
Jack, while not a technology buff, owned several computers in his life, moving from an original Apple Macintosh to his most recent PC running Windows 7.
He enjoyed cooking, and was known in the family as a rather good cook. In the 1970s he was a serious seafood buff and would take the time to drive to a friend’s home on the Olympic Peninsula to gather oysters. Later that day, on arriving home, the oysters would be cooked in their shells on the barbecue. In the 1990s he took on and re-perfected, a vintage Italian Pasticcio recipe which had been handed down through the years.
He loved a good adventure. He instigated, in the family, the original “bummin’ weekend” in 
which one points the car towards a particular destination city, then heads that way with no reservations or expectations.
One of his longtime destinations of choice was his condo in Maui, where he spent many wonderful days with his family in the calm of the tropics.
He enjoyed a good view of the water, the sea, the ocean. During his last days at his home, he had a chair near a window where he could sit quietly and watch the water, the people, and the birds.
He will be most remembered for his passion of giving, of sharing experiences, and his intelligence.
In lieu of flowers, please make a donation to Seattle Children’s Hospital or Hopelink.
A Celebration of Life will be held on October 10, 2015 at the Woodmark Hotel in Kirkland from3 to 7pm.
