To Margie and family, Jack always had a smile a kind word and encouragement at boat building. He would stop and watch us working and just smile at all the progress we were making. And when someone was struggling with a technique or a piece of stubborn wood, jack would ask and suggest, watch and adjust, and smile again when we finally completed the task at hand. I'm so grateful to have met your family and spent time with Jack. I hope all your fond memories are comforting and bring smiles to your faces and contentment to your hearts. With much appreciation and love, --Nina
