I met Jack and Barb when they came to our GOTO North along with Norm and Donna in 2007. I am sorry to say I have not seen them since. A great loss for the AC family.

My symapthy to all family and also Norm and Donna. Jack was very helpful to me as I restored a 6-12.
I never would have found a radiator, so Jack loaned me one for a pattern. He was a very good friend and will be missed. Royal

Norm, words can't express how i feel. You and Jack took me in last year and at the GOO as if both of you new me for years. I consider it a great honor and blessing to be friended by you and Jack. Not only did we loose a great AC man but a wonderful person.
My prayers got to Barb and family. We all feel your pain.

Very sorry to hear of this! Jack and Barb were two of the first people I ever met at my first GOTO in Florida back in 2000. I was lost and wandered into their building, didn't leave for hours! Truly a gentleman. Life is better from knowing him. Orange has lost a great man.

I only met Jack once at the A-C jamboree. He showed me is D-15 Orchard tractor. I was truly honored. My sympathy to Jack's family, he'll definitely be missed by many.

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.
