Jack was a fine man. He loved to tease and always had a twinkle hiding in his eyes, just waiting for his next joke. He was a wonderful, dear friend to my dad, aka "King Carp". Hopefully, they are now out fishing and relaxing together again, sharing the beauty of heaven. In sympathy and love to all of you, Butch and Holly and family.
