For anyone here on VMB that might know, or remember Jack .... Jack passed away recently (age 67) ... details unknown. Jack was originally from Columbus, Ohio , but years ago developed some health problems, and periodically lived in Florida, and then settled in Roanoke, VA to be near his daughter. Jack was a long-time fan of Las Vegas, and his various LV message boards, and was even in the early stages of planning for an April return to Vegas. We were hoping to meet up then .... "Buddha"
Oh, this saddens me greatly. I remember Jack from LVTalk and OpenVegas boards. How he loved staying at the Rio and Vegas in general. Thanks for posting this.
Jack and I got together for breakfast in Vegas in October and I was concerned as he didn't look well and was struggling with his health issues. Jack was a daily poster on Bonnie's board and made many friends through the board over the years. He was a true gentleman and will be missed! I will raise a toast to Jack in our favourite place, Vegas, next week. RIP Jack.
This is a site where you can leave your comments and condolences for Jack. http://www.familychoicefunerals.com/book-of-memories/1994056/Donahoo-Jack/view-condolences.php Jack was posting on Blonde's board Lasvegas4ever the day he died so it must have happened quickly.
His strong (board) presence will be missed. Read many of his daily comments and enjoyed them all. RIP Jack
Wow, sad. For the longest time I thought "JackinCol" meant he was from Colorado Springs... I eventually figured out this wasn't true, LOL.
I'm always so sorry to hear we lost one of our "tribe" here. I got a PM from his daughter about this and just saw it this morning. Thanks for posting this, Buddha.
Was looking through some photos today of meetings with Jack in Vegas. Jack and I; Jack and Bonnie; group shot from Bonnie's Mega Meet Jack and I in the back.
Bre, those are awesome pictures. Glad you and Jack were able to connect during his last Vegas trip. I know you will have a toast in his honor on your upcoming trip.
