Jack Frederick Mulliner (April 19, 1938 – January 5, 2015) Jack was born in Vancouver before his family relocated to Seattle Washington where Jack attended Queen Anne High School. At age 19, he enlisted in the U.S. Army and received training at Fort Ord, Monterey California. Between the Cold War years of 1958-1962 Jack had been stationed in White Sands New Mexico Missile Launch Site and saw America on a state of alert during the Cuban Missile Crisis. Following discharge from military service, Jack returned to his hometown of Vancouver. After apprenticing as a tradesman in the construction industry, he then worked on numerous high rise projects.
Jack was married on October 2, 2011 to his soulmate and longtime companion of over 35 years, Lorraine Smith, following her retirement from half a century of dance teaching. During the couple’s final years together, Jack was extremely committed to providing Lorraine constant support.

Lorraine passed away within 22 hours of her beloved husband.
Jack is survived by a brother in Spokane, Washington; daughters Jennifer and Robin; son Mark; 9 grandchildren; 14 great-grandchildren; and 2 great-great-grandchildren.
