Jack M. Long

Jack M. Long, 78, of Issaquah, passed away from natural causes Friday, July 22, 2011, at home with his wife, Bunny, the love of his life for over 54 years, at his side.

Jack was born in Durant, Okla., on March 29, 1933, to Florence Alma Long and Jesse James Long. He was the youngest of six children. In 1935 the family moved to Sacramento, Calif., where Jack had wonderful childhood memories. At the age of 14, Jack hitchhiked to State College, Pa., to live with his brother, Bill. He later returned to Sacramento and graduated from Grant Union High School in 1950.

In 1953 Jack joined the Army and was stationed in Korea for two years as a staff sergeant. After leaving the army, Jack attended Sacramento Junior College.

He met Frances “Bunny” Kearney in 1956 while they were both employed at the Blake, Moffitt & Towne Paper Co. They married in 1957, moved to Washington in 1958 and settled in Bellevue soon thereafter. In 1971, the family opened its first carpet store, The Shag Shop, in Eastgate. The business name changed to Long’s Home Fashion Center in 1981 and moved to Issaquah in 1988. The business continues to operate there as Long’s Floors.

Jack and Bunny raised five boys who all attended Newport High School in Bellevue. Jack was active in the boys’ lives — serving as PTA president, cub master and Little League coach and umpire.

Jack was a member of Gyro International fraternal club, gaining many friends throughout the United States and Canada. He served on the board of directors of Issaquah’s Hutchison House. Jack also enjoyed golf, daily walks, traveling and visiting family and friends.

Jack was a dedicated family patriarch and generous teacher. With five sons, 20 grandchildren, two great-grandchildren, and a large extended family, his love of family was ever-present.

Jack was a very loving husband, a supportive and kind father, a devoted uncle, an inspirational and caring grandfather, an awesome, fun great-grandfather, and a friend to all who met him.

Jack had an infectious sense of humor and a laugh that could fill an entire room. He was a kind and caring man who was also a great listener. Jack had a way of making people feel extremely special, important and loved. He will be greatly missed.

Jack is survived by his wife Bunny; five sons and their families (Greg and Jean, of Redmond, six children and two grandchildren; Gary and Liz, of Woodinville, and two children; Jeff and Karen, of Sammamish, and two children; Doug, of Issaquah, and four children; Chris and Melanie, of Bellevue, and two children); and his sister Oleta Boyte, of Sacramento. Extended family includes Pat and Colette Kearney, of Bellevue, and four children; Steve “Rocky” and Laura Long, and two children; and many other nieces, nephews and cousins.

Jack’s siblings who preceded him in passing were Ruby Howsmon, Louise Goodman, Bill Long and Bob Long.
