Jack was the only son of the late John Marconi and Mary Schuller Marconi Kaufman. Jack was born in Oakdale, CA, and spent much of his young life there. After graduating from high school, Jack served in the U.S. Navy during World War II. Once the war was over, Jack attended and graduated from UC Berkeley, and then was called to serve once more, this time in the Korean War. In the 1950s and '60s, Jack owned his own insurance business in Calistoga, moving to Sonoma in the years following. Throughout his years, Jack was a member of several bowling leagues, the Sonoma branch of the Moose Lodge and SIRS (Sons in Retirement, Sonoma). He was also a frequenter of many dining establishments and later in life could be found enjoying most meals at Palms Grill, Sonoma.
Jack will be remembered for his wonderful sense of humor and his generous heart. He is preceded in death by Natalia Klemin Marconi, his wife of 40-plus years.
