Jack, Betsy & Family, I am so sorry for your loss. May God comfort you during this difficult time. Judy Garcia

Dear Family – When your dad reached the Gates of Heaven and St. Peter looked up to see that is was him, I am sure he took a step back and thought to himself, now this is a man who lived out the motto …… “Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, Champagne is one hand – Strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming…… WOO HOO! What a Ride!” Thank you, Jack, for allowing me to be a small part of your life's journey. My deepest sympathy to you all.

Mary

So sorry for your loss. Jack is one of the most special people I have ever known. He was loved by everyone who knew him. Words can't adequately express my feelings. We will miss him. I know he is with Marge.
