Jack and Elsie retired young and early, moved to Lakeport in 1995 where he stayed involved in antiques and real estate. He excelled in everything he did. He was liked and loved by everyone he touched.

His sons, Jack and Gary, would like to thank everyone who helped in the final stages, Dr. Turrill and Ellen and their amazing staff, Hospice and especially Coco.

There will be a memorial for both Jack B. Pounds and Elsie Marie Pounds at their home Sunday, Aug. 18, from noon to 4 p.m. or so.

Gone but never forgotten.
