Dee and I am sorry to hear of Jacks passing.

Meeting Jack at a young age set into motion a clarity of vision that very much helped me define what I should value in the coming years. I am sure that I am not the only that had his, or her, life enriched by meeting him. He will be missed.

Our condolences…….
