Tim and Patsy, I thank Jack for providing bikes, fixing them for my grandsons when I had guardianship of them. He was a kind thoughtful man. My thoughts and prayers for all your siblings and their families. Because of my schedule with my mom, I wasn't able to attend services.

So sorry to hear of the passing of your Dad, a man I truly admired, he will be missed. I had many a great conversation with him and we even solved the world's problems a time or two. God Bless all of your families.

Jack was as nice of a guy as I could have met. I enjoyed visiting with him and cutting the boys hair when i was barbering. A fine family. Sorry to hear of Jack's passing and wish I could be there to see all of the boys. Will be thinking of you the upcoming days.
