Speed and Barbara have lost a very dear and special friend. Jack gave us a lot of laughs on our many travels together. Jack and Judy raised the most amazing family that I have ever known. We love them like our own, Judy, we know that Speed can't take Jacks place but he is sure willing to give it a shot. Our lives will never be the same without our dear friend Jack. Our deepest sorrow goes out to the entire family.

Uncle Jack,
I remember when I was young, I would be at Nana and Pa's house, and you would give me a ride home. You looked like James Dean with your slicked back hair and leather jacket. Initially, I was a little intimidated, but learned very quickly that you were a "cool guy". I would get into the car with you and feel like I was driving with a movie star. I will miss you so much, but I know that the Kitchen table is now complete for the Sunday poker game at Nana and Pa's house. I love you. Re
