• Notes

  He courted Aunt Margie while she was staying with Mom & Dad in Detroit in the late 40's. I thought he was the most exotic person I had ever seen - he wore torn Levi's, T-Shirts and rode a Harley-Davidson! Nothing like him in our family! He always spent some time with me and I thought he hung the moon! Uncle Jack was a hoot - great sense of humor... DECUENNICK On Sunday, April 25, 2010, our family and friends lost our "Pop" to be with the Lord and the ones who have preceded him in death in God's heavenly place. Jack Francis DeCuennick was a one-of-a-kind person who will be truly missed, but his spirit will always be remembered. He was someone who could make a stranger comfortable, make a friend smile, show unwavering loyalty and love to his family and always enlighten your day with a few good facts and jokes in conversation or by email. He was loved dearly and was under the loving care of his family when he was called home by the Lord at age 81. Jack was assembled in Detroit, Michigan on June 22, 1928 and passed away April 25, 2010.
