Uncle Jack was a one-of-a-kind man.
There are several memories I could share, but the one that meant the most to me was when Debbie and I was first married.
Uncle Jack knew that we didn't have much money for a nice vacation, so he offered to let us use his camper at Pymatuning Lake. We were able to take our children there several times and we made some great memories. It was a kindness that Uncle Jack and Aunt Shirley showed us that has never been forgotten.
He has left a good mark on this world and he will be missed by many.
Rest in peace Uncle Jack.

Dear Shirley, Kathy, Gordie and family,
Your dad touched many, many lives during his time with us on earth. Although we have not shared any recent times, your dear Jack left his mark in all of you and all those he guided and loved. May words of comfort rest gently upon your hearts and, in time, may they become words of healing. Let faith and hope into your heart and keep your memories near. God bless. Warmly, Annie Applegate Toot and Family

I can always remember at Halloween when I was younger he would always steal my candy. Then I got smart and left it in the car. He was always pulling jokes on me and I always fell for them. There was never a dull moment when he was around. He will be greatly missed
