| He will be missed, he went out of his way to help me with my tractors and other stuff at the flywheelers park when I was in a bind and needed a place to put them. I saw him at the jan show but didn't have much time to visit and it sounded like he had lost his voice. |

Jack was a good friend, always willing to help out when needed. He was a real asset to the AC Jamboree for the ten years we held it here. Hauled in many truckloads of equipment to make the show as good as it was. He will be sorely missed. ------------- Most problems can be solved with the proper application of high explosives. |

We're saddened to hear of Jack's passing. He was a great man and friend. He always had time for a question, to lend a helping hand, or to help figure out a problem. He was upbeat, gracious, sweet, and kind.
I remember speaking to him at the Jamboree just after he aquired his "M" crawler. I asked if I could drive it, though I had never driven one before. He didn't hesitate. His face lit up with joy and he said, "Go ahead!" That made my day.
Whenever I think of Allis-Chalmers, three names come to mind--Norm, Ted, & Jack. I will miss and always remember Jack Gustafson.
God be with his friends and family.
 ------------- Thanks & God Bless Dennis |
