Jack Wilfred Barslou

Jack is preceded in death by his parents, Wilfred Harrison and Clara Evelyn and 4 of his six siblings.

He is survived by his beloved wife of 63 years, Ann; son Jeffrey; daughter Julie (Steve) Hague and three granddaughters Sara, Rachel and Jessica. He is also survived by two sisters, many nieces, nephews, in-laws and friends.

Jack grew up on a small dairy farm in Boy River Mn. He married Ann in 1962 and they moved to St. Paul, Mn. He got a job at Ford Motor Company where he worked on the assembly line and retired from there after 32 years at the age of 57. Jack was a handyman who could fix anything and everything repairing cars and remodeling the homes he and Ann shared together. He loved spending time in the outdoors camping, cutting firewood and enjoying visits around the campfire with family and friends.

Jack's passion was music. A self-taught guitar, bass and harmonica player, he played in multiple bands and on local radio. He began writing music as a teenager and continued to do so throughout his life recording in his home studio into his 80's. He leaves this legacy of music for his family and friends to enjoy. Recordings of his music are available on Youtube at Brushland County Music.

Jack was a kind, intelligent, humble, generous, hardworking man who loved his family deeply. He will be greatly missed.

A Celebration of Life for Jack will be held Saturday, May 10, 2025 at 2:00 PM, with a visitation one hour prior, at Wulff Funeral Home, 1485 White Bear Ave, St. Paul, MN 55106.
