Dear Janet and family,

Even though sightings have been entirely too infrequent of late, Jack will be missed by our whole family. Our children want to be remembered to your children. They were all close growing up. Easy to say, but Jack is in a better place and his exit was a beautiful thing.

Love,

Betty Lou and Bob

Dear Janet and Family,
Our sincerest sympathies to you and your family. Jack was one of the most kind, considerate, inteligent and special man that we have ever met. He was a true gentleman and it has been our priviledge to have known him and shared his friendship and company throughout the years. He will be greatly missed and the world is a better place for having Jack being a part of it. His life ended all too soon but his memory will never be forgotten. Love, Nora, Ed, Ed and John
