Father of the modern wetsuit. He died at his home at Pleasure Point in Santa Cruz at the ripe old age of 94. From 1980 to 1986 I was a Scuba Instructor at ScubaVentures next door to O'Neills Surf Shop at the Santa Cruz Yacht Harbor. I saw him almost every day. He was a hoot. Rest in peace Jack.

That's a bummer. Many a river I rafted in an O'Neill wetsuit. Thanks for the memories, Jack.
