Please share a memory of Jack to include in a keepsake book for family and friends.
Jack Bacon passed away peacefully in Alameda, CA on Saturday, December 10, 2011 with his daughter at his side. After graduating from Santa Cruz High School with honors in 1932, Jack went to work for Horsnyder's Pharmacy in Santa Cruz. He married his high school sweetheart, Margaret Lucille Kaler, in 1935. During World War II, he was a Master Sergeant in the Army, serving first in the North African Campaign. Near the end of the War, he was awarded one of France's highest military honors, the Croix de Guerre, for distinguished service under fire in Southern France. Upon his return from the war in 1945, Jack started a life-long career in the wholesale drug business. He was promoted from salesman with San-Francisco based Coffin-Redington Co., to sales manager for Brunswig Drug Co, Western States Division, in Salt Lake City, and finally retired as vice president of Bergen-Brunswig Co. in Los Angeles. After retirement, he and Margaret opened a Hallmark store in Oceanside, CA. Jack was preceded in death by his wife Margaret and his second wife, Betty-Lou Geary. He is greatly missed by his two children, Marilyn Bacon Moffitt and John Bacon and many of their friends, by John's wife Jane, and by a host of nieces and nephews - the children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren of Santa Cruz families James & Betty Kaler Trent and Harmon & Flora Kaler Carter.
