5/5/2012  Jack Dempsey Pine (Non Grad)
August 26, 1928 - December 28, 2011

Jack was born in Buena, Washington to Homer and Hazel Pine, but spent the early years in Gallatin, Missouri. The family moved to Seattle during WWII when his parents worked at Boeing Aircraft. After the war, they moved back to Gallatin where Jack graduated High School. He joined the Navy in 1947 and attended the U.S. Naval Academy. He was drafted into the Army and served two years in Korea. After returning home in 1950, he married his High School sweetheart, JoAnn Struhar, with whom he stayed married the rest of his life, 61 years.

Jack and JoAnn moved to Redding and started a career in Real Estate with partners Frank Magaldi and Hal West. Among other things, they bought and developed the property that became the Holiday Inn, the Red Lion Inn and the Mt. Shasta Mall! He was on the local Democratic Committee that brought President John Kennedy to Redding and accompanied him to the Ribbon Cutting to dedicate Whiskeytown Dam and Lake. In 1962 Jack got a Charter for, and started, First Federal Savings and Loan in Downtown Redding and served as President and Manager for many years. Many people still around today remember getting their first home loans from Jack.

Later on, the Pine's moved to Mount Shasta City where they lived for 30 years. They continued to develop land and commercial real estate while they enjoyed their "retirement" years playing tennis, skiing, shooting bow and arrow, and playing golf.
In 2008, they moved back to Redding to be closer to family but remained active in their avocations. Though Jack hadn't played tennis for a while, and not much golf lately, he loved hunting, shooting, guns, fishing, target shooting and was an expert re-loader. He participated in authentic Cowboy competitions until the end. He was extremely proud to be an Early Member of the Single Action Shooter Society.

Jack will be remembered as a loving , fun, and kind husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather. He is survived by his wife, JoAnn, his brother Joe (Carol) Pine, children Steven Pine, Robin (Allen) Krohn, Mark Pine, Matt (Carolyn) Pine, and Mary (Jim Mole)Pine; grandchildren Whitney (Alex) Hoerman, Zachary (Kim) Pine, Jack Nolan, Jill (Jeremy) Hardy, Laura Lenser, April (Dave) Dixon, Andy Pine, Kelly Pine, Holly Pine, Casey Pine, Cortney Pine, W. Jack Pine, and Howie Mole; and great-grandchildren Yannis Hoerman, Sofia Hoerman, Helena Hoerman, Sebastian Hoerman, Jackie Hardy, Cole Pine, Zackery Pine, Nolan Pine and Gavin Dixon.

Jack's formal internment will be on Friday, May 11, 2011 at the Veteran's Cemetery in Igo at 11:00 a.m. The family invites you to join us in a Celebration of Jack's Life at the home of his daughter and son-in-law, Robin and Allen Krohn on Saturday, May 12, 2011 beginning at 11:00 am. 19671 Midland Drive, Redding 96003 just off of Oasis, 2 miles east of I-5.
