Lilia's Tribute 1 | Page 9

When Jack had moved into this house he moved in remarried, well kind of remarried. Kathi, a woman of artistic abilities and Jack a both-feet-on-the-ground engineer were set up on a blind date by a shared friend. According to the stories I’ve heard, Jack arrived in his red Toyota truck and dressed up in a conservative jacket and coat with a sleek tie. Kathi apparently took one look at him and acted like she wasn’t home. She finally realized she was hungry, and thought she should at least go and get a free meal out of the affair. When Kathi finally came out of her house Jack’s thoughts were somewhat mutual but his were a bit blunter. Jack’s thoughts were, “Holy cow, don’t set me up with this hippy!” They went to dinner at Lou’s Rendevous and had a great time. They found it easy to be themselves while being with each other. Later in the night Jack asked what her favorite sport was, she said hot tubing. Jack told her he had a hot tub and that’s where they really hit it off. (this picture isn’t of their wedding.) Finally after years of being together Jack and Kathy decided they should get married. Before they found each other they had had formal, planned weddings and decided they didn’t do that again. So kathi walked down the aisle in jeans, t-shirt and a mosquito net veil. Jack stood next to her in a multipocket vest and camo pants. They had a great time at the wedding and it wasn’t traditional at all. This just goes to show all you need to have fun is that one person that makes you happy. They lived together with many cats and loving hearts towards one another. You never really heard them say it all the time, but you could see it; how they looked at each other, how they acted, and the look in their eyes really said it all. They were very special people to many and were very friendly people. After Sharon he had lived the rest of his life with Kathi. Then the day came the when he was going down his stairs connected to his deck; he tripped and fell.
