Note: ge. He and his step brother Al grew up together after his dad married Jo. Jack and Al grew up very close as brothers, Verda & Jack were very close also, and so was brother Joe, and Kay - as Kay grew up, before Jack married Patsy.
Jack was in the C.C.C.'s with Al, when they were 15.
Jack joined the U.S.Navy during WW11, when he was 17. While he was in the Navy they decided to change his middle name from "Rulin" to "Reuhlin" and made it official. Jack served a mission for "The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints" when he was 21, unable to complete his mission due to an operation on his spinal cord before his 2 year period was up.
Jack became "a mason at his work", working for his father and with his brothers as plastermen, eventually becoming a contractor of his own. They built the Los Angeles Temple, and later Dad Young was the plastering contractor for the Church with the New Zealand Temple.
Jack later desired to do police work; he joined the deputy reserve for the Los Angeles Sheriffs Department in 1952; became a policeman on the Santa Monica Police Force in 1954 (?); moved to northern California in 1963 later becoming a Correctional Officer for the Dept of Corrections in the Suzanville Prison - transferring eventually to the Honor Camp in Magalia in 1966/7 California, where he was forced to retire due to heart failure. (he suffered a stroke while at work one night) Being examined proved his disability to Workmans Comp.. Jack was operated on in Jan 1978 where they found his heart under much strain, "the bag around his heart becoming 'as thick as a pencil and as hard as lead', not allowing his heart to beat properly nor the room to do it in." Jack was in a coma thru his last week, the week prior he begged to go home. "HOME" meant a relief from all the stress and pain he was under. It was so hard to let him go, and his wife, had been holding him back, without realizing it.
Jack and Patsy were devorced before Renee's first birthday, and were remarried on Suzan's 4th birthday. They finally made it to the Oakland Temple, after Jack said "the 'Woolley' of President Spenser Woolley Kimball hit him with a very strong impact he could not deny", which was on a calendar hanging in the dining room of our home at 5235 Crown Court, in Oroville, California in 1975. Jack had to be hit with a "hammer", before he would consider Patsy as an eternal wife. His father tried to convince him of this for many , many years, with no success. So Jack and Patsy have three marriage certificates to prove their worth.
