complications from surgery performed in February. Jack was born on December 31, 1926 in San Francisco, California. He attended Washington High School and then entered the U.S. Army Air Corps at the age of seventeen, where he was a sergeant based in Germany at the end of World War II. After serving, he returned to San Francisco where he married Marge on May 7, 1950 and had his first two children. While working for Remington Rand in the office equipment business, he was transferred to Fresno, and later had two more children. In 1965 he formed a partnership and opened Western Office Equipment, where he worked until retirement in 1988. Jack was an avid radio modeler, and enjoyed water skiing, back packing, fishing, off road motorcycling, and traveling in his motor home. He played the harmonica and organ by ear and often listened to his favorite big band music. He enjoyed sharing his home brew, playing cards and spending time on the CB radio and the computer. He loved to figure out how things worked and could fix just about anything. He took great pride in his growing family and loved to take photos that he shared with everyone.

He was preceded in death by his parents, George and Mary Brockmann, a brother, Robert Brockmann and a sister, Janice Brockmann Welch.
