Anne and I were sorry to here of Mr Jacks passing. I will always remember the times we had our boat(s) at the shipyard. While I was there to get the boat ready for the water, it was always nice to pass some time and good conversation with Mr Jack. Although we moved after Katrina to be closer to our daughter and her family, we will always have great memories of the coast, the boating, the ship yard and Mr Jack.
