Elton A. 'Jack' Lake Services were Saturday for Elton A. "Jack" Lake, who
died Thursday in Capitola. He was 84. Mr. Lake was born in Timpson, Texas,
and lived in Santa Cruz County since 1960. He worked as a construction
superintendent for more than 28 years. Mr. Lake never met a stranger he
didn't like, he always respected women and was a good neighbor who told
a compelling story, family members say. He volunteered at Dominican
Hospital. He is survived by brothers Lovis C. Lake of Sacramento
and Charles B. Lake of San Bernardino; sister Betty J.  Andersen of
Wisconsin; stepson Kenneth Lake of Riverside; step-daughters Barbara
Ivey of Riverside and Joanne Norville of Colorado Springs, Colo.; 11
grandchildren; numerous great grandchildren and nieces and nephews.
His wife, Mary L. Lake, died in 1997. His mother, Ollie J. Cullinane,
his father, Apton C. Lake, and his stepson, Jacob Mader, also died
before him. Mr. Lake was buried at Holy Cross Cemetery. Contributions are
preferred to New Life Family Church, 402 E. Washington Ave., El Cajon,
CA 92020. Arrangements are by Norman's Family Chapel
