Jack Tomberlin 1930 – 2017
Jack Tomberlin born in November of 1930 to Lewis and Isabel Tomberlin. John M. Tomberlin, one of five children, was always known as Jack. A graduate of Half Moon Bay High school, he participated in band and choir. Jack loved to sing and had a beautiful voice. He later completed his Associate in Arts degree at San Mateo Junior College in 1953.
Jack followed the path of his father and brothers and became a plumber and a Union Member of Local Union 467. Several years later, he became part owner of Gazos Creek Beach House in Pescadero, CA, where he could be heard singing from the bar.
He was a proud member of the Half Moon Bay Spanish Town Dons Drill Team, with whom he marched in parades in California and across the country. Jack moved to Lassen County after he retired in the early 1990’s settling down in Westwood, CA, where his father had served as Community Services Director and other family members lived.
Jack is survived by his sister Patricia Lawson of Napa, CA and daughters Judi Tomberlin of Modesto, CA, Paula Fantulin of Stockton, CA, Claudia Tomberlin of Jackson, CA, Anita Zavala of Susanville, CA and son Ryan Tomberlin of Washington D.C. as well as his 12 grandchildren and 19 great grandchildren. Services will be held this summer at the Westwood Cemetery.
