Jack Joseph Fidler June 22, 1921 – Feb. 20, 2010 Long-time Alaskan Jack Joseph Fidler, 88, passed away Feb 20, 2010, after a long struggle with cancer.  He died peacefully surrounded by his family who lovingly cared for him in his final months. Jack was born in Butler Township, Mich., to Burr and Clara (Cummins) Fidler. In 1940, he graduated from Allen High School and immediately entered the U.S. Army Air Corps. He served five years with the 31st Fighter Group. He earned the rank of master sergeant in the 308th Squadron where he commanded an armament squad for Spitfires and P51 fighter planes.  During his years of service, he was stationed throughout England, North Africa, and Italy. Representing the enlisted men of the 31st Fighter Group, he once received an audience and blessing from Pope Pius XII. Upon his honorable discharge, Jack returned to Allen and in 1946 married his lifetime love, Jeanette Howell.  After starting as a stockboy in 1937, Jack co-owned and managed the Allen Hardware Co. from 1952-1970.  He served as the city mayor from 1951-1959, councilman from 1959-1967, and president of the Allen Telephone Co. from 1953-1969.  He was an active member of his community as a long-term member of the American Legion, Masons, and Knights of Pythias, holding many offices in these organizations throughout his lifetime. In 1972, Jack and Jeanette packed up their family and finally made their long awaited move from Allen to Anchorage. During his first 20 years in state, Jack was a dedicated employee at United Building Supplies.  As a passionate angler (he even slipped a fly rod into the trunk of their 1946 honeymoon vehicle!), he was frequently heard comparing Alaska to heaven. In over 35 years of Alaskan residency, Jack tested nearly every stream between Tangle Lakes and the Homer Spit. Jack used his retirement to fulfill his enthusiasm for reading, gardening, sports and his never ending love for fishing.  Jack devoured nearly every book ever written about WWII.  Though his desire to grow a vine-ripened tomato in his south Anchorage garden continued to elude him, he always enjoyed watching the Dallas Cowboys and endured many defeats to hear his favorite commentator, Harry Caray, cheer on the Cubs.  Always within his permitted limit, one winter he caught 509 of the 2,500 fish stocked in Jewell Lake. Jack is survived by his wife of 63 years, Jeanette (Howell) Fidler; son/daughter-in-law Gary Fidler and Marilyn Ogden of Scottsdale, Ariz.; granddaughter Sarah Fidler of New York City; and sister Lettie and Dave Dressel of Tempe, Ariz., Jack was preceded in death by his three brothers: Max, Charles, and Jim. Jack chose not to have a formal memorial service, but the next time you go fishing be sure to leave one for Grandpa Jack. For their around-the-clock support during his final weeks, please contribute to the Hospice of Anchorage (2612 E Northern Lights Blvd, Anchorage, AK 99508; www.hospiceofanchorage.org) in lieu of sending flowers to our family.

(Harmon) Gordon. He is survived by his parents; one brother, Eric Edward Gordon of Hillsdale; grandmother, Virginia Harmon of Hillsdale; several aunts, uncles and cousins and many friends.

He was a sports fan who particularly enjoyed football and his favorite team was the Detroit Lions.
