Jack was the second of four children, that included Juanita, Edith, and Ostes "Tom" Largent. Their father, Ostes, was killed when he fell from an icy, upper story, outdoor rear porch in 1922. His death certificate was filed in Shasta, California, but his daughter, Edith, maintained his death occured in Redding, California. Their maternal grandparents (Briggs) helped to raise the grandchildren and they went through some tough times. This kept them together throughout their lives. Jack and his brother, Tom, died of heart attacks at relatively young ages. Tom in 1956 and Jack in 1964.
Jack was a seventeen year old when he joined the Civilian Conservation Corp. established by President Franklin Roosevelt during the Great Depression. He became friends with my father, Roger Coffman, while they worked together in the C.C.C. at Sequoia National Park in California. Roger met Jack's sister, Edith (my mother to be), and they fell in love and married on 25 March 1934.
In 1947 Jack helped my parents when he invited them to move from Verdi, Nevada to Pilot Rock, Oregon to work with him in his restaurant and inn. Roger was unemployed at the time so it was much appreciated when Jack and he could work together and help each other out. My parents moved back to Verdi in 1948.
Jack and his wife, Florence Winona "Nona" Hartley were married on 20 January 1936 in Los Angeles County and had three children Georgia Rae, John "Jackie" Milo, and Karen Lea. John was killed in an auto accident in 1967.
Jack served in the U.S. Navy Construction Battalion (Seabees) during World War II.
Jack had an interesting hobby of collecting knick-knacks of elephants with their trunks pointed upward.
