Wallowa, died May 17, 2015,
at his home in Jacksonville.
Graveside services will be
held Tuesday, July 7, 2015,
at 11 a.m. at the Wallowa
Cemetery.
Jack was born July 26,
1927, in Wallowa, to Harry
and Pearl (McGinnis)
Coleman. He graduated from
Wallowa High School in
1945.
He is survived by his
wife, Phyllis Jean Storms, whom he married in La Grande
on Oct. 3, 1959; children, Jackie (Steve) Ramsing of
Cambodia, Rebecca (Greg) of Central Point; grandsons,
Patrick Ramsing, Peter (Allison) Ramsing; older sister
Geraldine Melton.
His parents preceded him in death.
Jack served in the US Navy at the end of WWII and
was called back to duty for the Korean War where he
served on the USS Kermit Roosevelt.
Jack was self-employed and founded Coleman &
Chrisman Insurance in 1956. He also prepared many
income tax returns until his retirement in 1989. At that
time Jack and Phyllis became “snow birds” and spent
many winters in Yuma, Ariz. In 1989 Jack and Phyllis
moved to Eugene to be closer to Jackie and her family. In
2008 they sold their place and moved to Yuma full-time.
Due to health reasons, they moved to Jacksonville, Ore.,
in 2013 to be closer to their youngest daughter Rebecca.
Jack and Phyllis ventured all over the United States,
Canada and abroad visiting family, friends and would
usually run into someone they knew along the way. Jack
loved to cook, and among family and friends was known
for his amazing meals. He also assisted Santa Claus for
many many years in helping spread joy and putting smiles
on children’s faces during the Holiday Season.
Jack was a lifetime member of the Masonic Lodge,
Charter Member of the Elks Lodge, member of the
Wallowa Methodist Church, and for many years was the
Veteran’s Officer for Wallowa County.

Jack Gartzke Shine died
June 24, 2015 at his home
near Hillsboro. Jack was born
April 27, 1925, the oldest
of four children of Franklin
J. Shine and Irene Gartzke
Shine. He was born on the
family’s homestead in the
Promise area of Wallowa
County. Frank ran a freight
line between Elgin and
Joseph, and later worked
other jobs, including logging
and working for the Civilian
Conservation Corps. Irene had proved up her own homestead
in the Grossman area, operated a bakery in Wallowa, and
worked as a dressmaker.
Although Frank and Irene worked hard to support the
family, there was often no money. In 1937, the family lost
the homestead for $67 in back taxes. The family moved into
town and rented a home on the Ben Curtiss property on the
Wallowa River. The children all attended the Lower Valley
Grade School. Jack continued his schooling in Wallowa,
and was active in the Boy Scouts and the Future Farmers of
America. His primary activity, however, was working every
minute he could, in order to help support the family. He
graduated from Wallowa High School in 1943. Jack enjoyed
attending many of his WHS alumni reunions over the years,
including his 60th, in 2013.
In 1943, the family left Wallowa and moved to a farm
on Chehalem Mountain near Hillsboro. While helping build
and operate the family farm, Jack worked in logging and
worked at the Elmer Standish sawmill near Laurel. He was
in demand among the local farmers as a hired hand, and for a
time he operated a Jersey dairy farm.
After several years of working on the family’s farm,
Jack took ownership of a portion of the original property,
which would be his happy home for the remainder of his
life. He was drafted into the army in 1953 and was stationed
in Virginia, then at Fort Lewis in Tacoma, Wash., until his
discharge in 1957. Jack married Lorraine Faye Payne on
Dec. 16, 1953. Jack and Lorraine made their home on their
Chehalem Mountain farm, and worked very hard to establish
their farm and their family. They raised their three children
here, and lived here for the remainder of both of their lives.
Jack spent the majority of his working career, beginning
in 1959, working as a surveyor for the Oregon State Highway
department. He and his crew worked on many projects that
are very familiar to locals: Highway 47 near Gaston/Forest
Grove, WWII Veteran’s Highway (I-205), the Fremont
Bridge, the Glenn Jackson Bridge and the Vista Ridge tunnel.
Jack remained an active member of his community as
long as he was able. He continued farming his land, helping
with church and school projects, helping his kids with
SURMHFWVDQGHYHQKHOSHGZLWKFOHDQXSDIWHUVHYHUHÀRRGLQJ
in the area. Jack was a longtime member of the Laurelwood
Seventh-day Adventist church. He was a man of faith and a
gentle, loving example of how to be a man and a father.
Jack is survived by Randall and Patricia Shine of Gaston,
Valden and Deborah Shine of Hillsboro, and Jennifer and
'DQLHO(GG\RI+LOOVERUR¿YHJUDQGFKLOGUHQDQGVHYHQ
great-grandchildren. His sister, Jean Shine of Hillsboro and
his brother, Donn Shine of Hillsboro, also survive him. Our
mother, Lorraine Payne Shine, passed away in September of
2004. Jack’s brother, Paul Shine also passed away in 2004.

1985 at The Dalles, the

graduating from Ione High School in 2003. He was an
Ione Cardinal and active in all sports. Cayle was an
All Star Football player and a finalist in track and field
events. He then attended Oregon State University in
Corvallis where he graduated in 2007. He was a member
of the Alpha Gamma Rho Fraternity, serving as vice
president, and he also served as vice president of the
Young Cattlemen’s Association as well.
