Jack was a loving father and husband and loved spending time with his family. He enjoyed doing yard work, bowling, baking, wood-working and traveling. He loved spending time with his only grandson in the garage working on cars, just like his boys when they were younger. Growing up he enjoyed taking his boys fishing in Minnesota. He was an avid Chicago Cubs and Bears fan and was also a member of the Elk’s and Plus 60 Club.
Those left to cherish his memory include his loving wife, Rosella; children, Jack Walston Jr., of Minnesota, and Scott (Lori) Walston of Waterloo, Iowa; grandson, Scott Walston II of Waterloo, Iowa; and sister, Lois Reed of Davenport, Iowa. He was preceded in death by his parents and his brothers, Albert and Richard.
