If you follow the obituaries you may have noticed in the Enterprise Record that Jack Lee of Oroville has died suddenly of an undisclosed illness. Our deepest sympathies to his friends and family.
However, much to consternation and dismay of many, I regret to inform you that Jack Lee of Chico is not dead! In the words of Samuel Clemens, the report of my death has been exaggerated.
As for my health, I’m fairly sure God is not interested in taking me any time soon because of my life mission to irritate liberals. To those who have been offering condolences to my friends and family, thank you for the thought, but I prefer you make a donation to the Jack Lee Fun-Fund, any amount will do. I promise to put it to no-good use. -Jack Lee (and I’m not 89, although there are days when I feel like it)
🙂
Drat. No refund from FTD.
Whew…for a minute there I thought I was a blogwidow! So happy to hear Jack Lee of Chico is still live and well.
Tina, I promise I will give you 30 days notice before I die so you can find a replacement. But, if Libby or Chris takes my spot I’m coming back!
How funny, a similar thing happened to me years ago in San Jose. My mother-in-law and I have the same first and last name, only the middle name is different. She called me one morning and asked if I’d seen the obituary with our name in it.
Since our name is not that common I thought the odds of having a third person in the same city pretty high.
Glad to know you’re feeling just fine Jack. Hate to lose you before you’ve finished your goal with liberals!
Thanks Peggy, the good die young, therefore I should live well past 100.
Scared me for a sec there. Glad to hear you’re doing OK.
Thank you Chris. Nice of you to say.
RHT …… I am still LMAO!
I’m happy God is not done with you yet.:)
Tine, my heart went to my stomach, I have not met Jack, but feel he is a friend.
Thank you Harriet, I am very sorry if that caused you any distress and I appreciate your concern. Since the word was already out I felt I should say something, and that I should lighten it up with a little humor. Again, my apologies and I feel you are my friend too! : )
Very glad you are still among the living Jack. We are not democrats, you actually need to be alive to vote, and we need you. LOL
Thanks Toby, I will do my best to stay alive too.
The Jack Lee of Oroville that passed was a great man, in case any one is wondering. He was my father. (and he was 79 not 89).
Deb we’re honored that you would take the time out of your busy day to share about your father as a person and as a father. Sounds like he may have had a lot in common with our Jack Lee who is a man of service and tireless dedication. Our best to you and your family.
