Memorial
This site is dedicated to my father, Jack Fryxell, and is still being developed. My hope is that you will check back often as these pages evolve and that you will post your comments and memories as you are moved to do so.
I asked myself, "How do I write an obituary and tribute (and possible Eulogy) that does justice to what he meant to me and the lives that he touched? I need his help... now more than ever." I posed the same question "out loud" on facebook and received a smattering of wonderful suggestions and an abundant amount of support.
Then it dawned on me. What I know about my dad is through the lens of a daughter and based on our unique experiences together. There is so much more to him, the man he was, the life he lived and the lives he touched. I've already been blessed to listen as his friends have told me about a few select moments that they shared together as well as to read a handful of accounts of how he impacted their lives.
It is a gift and a treasure to honor his memory -- his legacy -- by writing his story through the lens of the many and varied people he influenced. As I prepare my version of the story of his life, I have asked several others to contribute as well. My intent is to put some of these pieces together in a way that depicts the bigger picture of the life he lived and the lives he touched.
Your written memories and stories (via the guest book) are welcome and greatly appreciated. Feel free to message me privately at RememberingJackF@gmail.com if you'd like to share something privately or offer a piece of your story to be shared as a collaborative effort.
NOTE: your email, if you choose to provide it when signing the guestbook or lighting a candle, will not be published on this site. It will be only made available to the family.
