Our loving Father and Grandfather, age 73, passed
away on Saturday, February 20th, 2010 peacefully
and was reunited with his loving wife Tamra on their
50th wedding anniversary. He was born February
4th, 1937 in Salt Lake City, Utah to Floyd and Hazel
Tapp and later married Tamra Juretich Tapp
February 20th, 1960 in Coalville, Utah.
Jack was a highly ethical, hard working individual
who gained the respect of all those he worked with.
His most fond memories came from his time working
for Westcon in Pleasant Grove, Utah and the many
friends and associates he worked with within the
construction industry.
Jack enjoyed the hobby of Bottle Digging. He spent
many weeks traveling to ghost towns in Utah and
digging for old bottles and had many friends and
associates which he shared the love of his hobby
with.
Jack had a passion for cars which began as a youth.
As a young man he raced cars at Bonneville Raceway
where he won many trophies and later in life
enjoyed restoring old cars and painting flames on
anything that had wheels including his lawnmower.
Jack loved the beauty of the earth and was blessed
with the gift of landscaping. His yards were always
filled with beautiful rock walls, waterfalls, flowers
and trees.
Most of all Jack was a tender heart who sometimes
was misunderstood but loved all those he came in
contact with. He will be truly missed!
Jack is survived by his brother Steve (Nina) Tapp,
sister Connie (Dennis) Witworth and children, Jack
and Kathy (from a previous marriage), Bart aka “Beat
the Creep” (Pennie) Tapp, Chet aka “Cheddar Cheese”
Tapp, Shane aka “Booberts” (Jamie) Tapp, Misty aka
“Magoogle Mugwamp” (Doug) Dahl; his
grandchildren Tanya (Rodney) Rasmussen, Brock,
Courtland, Summer, Sienna, Ethan, Aurora, Rigel and
Skydin. Those who proceeded him in death are his
loving wife Tamra, son Shawn, his parents Floyd
and Hazel Tapp, his brothers Rowland and Donald,
and his grandson Orion.
