THE JUNEAU EMPIRE

Former Juneau resident John "Jack" O'Hara died Feb. 14, 2001, at his sister's home in College Station, Texas.

He was born July 4, 1952, in Baltimore, Md., but spent most of his childhood in Texas. He spent two years in Juneau as a teen-ager when his father's work brought the family to Alaska. He returned to Juneau in 1983 and stayed until 1998. He lived and worked at the Alaskan Hotel for much of that time. He loved books, classical music, Beck's beer and golf.

He is survived by his sister Patricia (O'Hara) Gillogly, his brother Tim O'Hara and his father, all of Texas.
