Jack, 91, is remembered lovingly by his three sons, Todd Warnick (Minette), Mark Warnick, and Craig Warnick (Janet), his daughter, Lisa Fein (Warren), his seven grandchildren, Michal, Alon (Orit Avichzer), Gil, Ben, and Elliana Warnick, and Samuel and Jacob Fein, and his brother, Fred Warnick.
Jack was a highly respected community leader and a loving husband, father, grandfather and friend. His legacy of leadership and participation spanned seven decades and dozens of civic organizations and activities. He was the first Jewish member of the Tacoma City Council and he served two terms as the city's deputy mayor.
Jack was born and raised in Tacoma and was an active member of the Jewish community throughout his life. Judaism and Israel were important to him. Just last month he returned from a visit to Israel, where he spent time with the families of two of his sons.
