Jack loved fishing and I will miss going to all the local ponds with him and meeting for breakfast. He loved telling the story of the little girl at the restaurant who put butter into each space of her waffle. Jack, you will be sadly missed by all. Catch a big one in those heavenly ponds. Rest in Peace my friend. Navy Motto: "Non sibi sed patriae" May your sails be open full with the wind to your back and calm seas so that your journey to heaven will be smooth sailing.
