REMEMBERING JACK YORK |
Copyright © 2013 USS Bushnell Reunion Committee All Rights Reserved...... Website design by Richard Yarman |
This page is a tribute to our departed friend and shipmate Jack York. Though Jack never served on our Reunion Committee, for a number of years when he was still able to attend, he acted as the Bushnell Reunion Chaplain. Jack had a very strong faith in Jesus Christ and was always ready and willing to share his faith. During the years that Jack spent on the USS Bushnell serving his country, he was known as the "Bear". But deep down, Jack was a real pussycat. Jack became an avid carver and used to bring his carvings to the reunions to be raffled off. If you won one in a raffle you know how good they were. Later in life he became "Santa Jack" and loved being Santa to young and old alike. Galatians 5:22-25 says, "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control". Jack York believed and practiced the Fruits of the Spirit. Jack will be missed by all who knew and loved him. REST IN PEACE SHIPMATE |
