Dan,
I'm Mary Kay, I am Uncle Jack's niece, Aunt Betty was my mother's twin sister. If you can tell me how to get in contact with Tim, Robin and Missy to let them know that Uncle Jack passed away it would be greatly appreciated. Also, I tried to get ahold of Steve Brekke, who I think is your father, but was unable to get in contact with him either. If you know how to get in contact with any of them could you please send me the information to my email address because the contact numbers I have are incorrect.
Thank you very much,
Mary Kay

Hi, Missy, Tim, and Robin: Ann spotted Jack's notice in the Trib this morning. We're sorry to hear of his passing--one of the last links to what I guess I think of as the great era of the Hogans and Fitzgeralds (it certainly seemed like a great era, and sometimes a very painful one, when you listened to all the stories our parents, uncles, and cousins told).
