I remember Jack & Grace very fondly and like my daughter remember the dogs and the big home in Zionsville. Both WONDERFUL and caring people. After Paul's death I moved to Colorado and lost track of them but I am sure that Paul Heckart is waiting in heaven to play a round of golf with Jack. Hope such thought bring you the same comfort I get when I think about the wonderful reunion they will have.

Sorry to hear of your father's passing. Your father and mine used to golf years ago. His name was Paul Heckart. I remember your mother and father and when I was a small girl we would visit your parents' home. I remember playing with their Schnauzers. My father has also passed away so I understand your grief. Please accept my heartfelt sympathies.
