Uncle Jack,
We will miss you and all of your jokes. You were always very patient with all of your nieces and nephews and never angered by their antics. you were our family's Cecil B. DeMille--when there were few people filming family events in those days. You captured our moments and shared in so many of our experiences. You were a Godfather to many of your nieces and nephews and probably some others as well and in spirit you were on Godfather to us all. We will miss you, but rejoice you are reunited with Aunt Jeannette. Have a beer on us in heaven.
