JimmyZip Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 I remember sitting watching my mother exercise in front of the T.V. as he lead her through twisting and bending. He was a pioneer salesman of the exercise industry. RIP Jack. I'm sure you'll have everyone in heaven in shape by the time I get there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carmoney Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 In his later years, Jack lived in Morro Bay, CA, which is also home of the Hogue range and the International Revolver Championship. I remember meeting him in a restaurant a few years ago, and he was a very nice guy who made a point of coming over and talking to us at our table. Jack referred to Cliff and Dean G. and I as "sex gods," proving that his eyesight was excellent even well into his 90s. Must have been the carrot juice!

How old fashioned it all seems today. RIP Jack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Norman Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 "It's time to leave you, must say goodbye, these precious moments just seem to fly, may the good lord bless and keep you too" My mom also exercised with Jack in the morning. He used to end his show by singing the above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiG Lady Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 He worked out of San Francisco... and a small number of the streets there on steep hills were so steep they had STEPS instead of flat sidewalks. One of his promotional 'exercises' was to "walk" up and down these steps on his HANDS! He was amazing in a lot of ways. He inspired a LOT of people and was the essence of cheerfulness. He was 96, bless his heart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiG Lady Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 I swear the guy never slept! But he was too healthy to be accused of doin' drugs. I think he was one of those just-high-on-life dudes. Whatever it was, it worked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sealawyer Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 One of my younger colleagues was in my office when I read that Jack had died. Her response: "Who was Jack Lalane?" I explained that he was the Tony Horton of his day. Her response; "Who is Tony Horton?" Girl apparently doesn't watch much TV! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
