Jack Havice Obituary

I had the privilege of having Mr. Havice as a teacher in both 4th and 5th grades at Pine Valley Elementary. I always remember him as my favorite teacher.

I was one of Mr Havice's 5th grade students at Pine Valley Elementary School at the Air Force Academy in 1976-1977. He was one of my favorite teachers. He taught me how to play chess and I remember that we built a small structure in the classroom together that had a loft. The whole class loved him. He was firm yet patient. He shamed me (in a good way)out of not doing my school work. Because I was blessed to have teachers like him, I went on to be commissioned in the USAF and fly jets. I now fly for United Airlines. He fostered and encouraged those dreams. I had a chance to look Jack up while visiting Colorado in 2008 and regret that I did not follow through. My condolences to your family.

I remember when your dad was the pastor in Edison Colorado and your family living in the small house next to the church your dad did my grandfathers (Louis A. Busch) service. Great Man Pamela Busch Petersma
