RIP -- Jack Brunk

Met him at NAHBS (Portland I think, maybe Indy) and shared many miles with he and his team "Prairie Falcon" on the 508. Always a gentleman. R.I.P.

So sad to hear. Thanks for letting us know Keith. He was very active here but that was years ago. I had dinner with him and other PL's at the NAHMBS in San Jose. He was a really nice guy who had great tastes in bikes.

am that he did almost every time i throw a leg over it.

Wow, that is sad news. He really seemed like a wonderful, caring person and one who had a passion for life. He will be missed.
My prayers, thoughts, and condolences to his family.

I really only knew him by the reputation of having and selling lots of very nice bikes. I remember I posted a thread about something and he either replied to it, or sent me a PM with some very helpful advice.

Was one of the good guys. World is worse off without him.

RIP Jack. I remember seeing him post often on the forum. Seemed like a great guy. Fitting his memorial service was at a bike shop. Godspeed. Matt

When I first came to this place many years ago the "grand old men" were Serotta Pete and Jack Brunk.
I always studied with envy the pictures of Jack's bikes.
I didn't know him personally but he responded to some of my questions here as a gentlemen with kindness and dignity, willing to share his knowledge.
The cycling world (and the world in general) needs more gentlemen like Jack and Pete.

Always loved Jack's bikes and I have an IF cross bike in my stable that belonged to him at one point. Blessings to the family.

One of his classic "pole pictures", and there were many...

The man himself...he was also quite the chef, and I've had the privilege of being on the receiving end of these skills at his house.

I rode with him many moons ago...he was fit and fast but most of all very kind and generous....

RIP ole friend.....
