You were always the ruff and tuff Uncle when we were kids...but as time went on we all found out what a gentle person you really were. Thank you for stepping in and being my shoulder to cry on after my dad died and loving me so. You will be missed greatly and I am so sorry that you will not be at my wedding in person, but you will be there in our hearts!! Say "Hello" to my Dad, Grandma, Auntie Mary, Uncle Ken and the rest of the family. Until we meet again Uncle Jack...keep everyone laughing! I love you soooo very much and will miss you until I see your smiling face again.

Our sympathy to the Boyovich Family.
Jack was a school friend from the early years. Seeing him at Class Reunions and at the Ellensburg Rodeo gave us a few minutes to say "hello".
We have considered Jack as a longtime friend. His passing brings memories and sorrow.
