Sharing simple times with Jack always proved a pleasure. He was a fine man I never heard a cross word from. It took many trips to Wilderness Lakes, but we really did catch a catfish there once. He will be missed.

Jack, your journey was long and varied. You were an exemplary neighbor, proud citizen and always a gentleman. I will miss our "chats" but remember you always. My deepest sympathy to Irene, Glenda and the rest of your loving family. Safe trip my friend.
