Obituary for Jack Polak

Jack Polak of San Diego, California, passed away in his sleep on Jan 8, 2016 at the age of 96. Jack was

born to Bertha and Frank Polak on May 10, 1919 in San Diego. He was the 4th of seven children; Fanny,

Abe, Mike, Jack, Joe, Ben, and Sally. After graduating from Hoover High School, Jack began his full and

colorful life by going to work for Piggly Wiggley #3. Jack was a veteran of World War II, where he served

in the infantry throughout Europe, alongside his twin brother Joe. Then, Jack began a career in civil

service. He later married Elaine in the late 50s, a wonderful girl from Jamaica, and they transferred to

the Philippines. After Elaine passed away some 20 years ago, Jack shared a home with his brother, Joe.

Jack is survived by Joe, his nieces and nephews, and their families. Jack will truly be missed by all his

family and his many friends.

. . . And Jack would want all of you to remember that he was a lifelong Trojan fan!
