Karen & Lou couldn't have said it better. We do miss Feathers and we will miss Jack too. I see both the best parts of both of them in you, Magy, and so - they live on. Peace and comfort to all of the family and friends.

I knew them as "Magy's parents." When in town they would join us "for lunch" which was our primary social event. They were great people. How many friends do we have whose parents become "part of the group"? We miss Eleanor and will miss Jack. Thanks for sharing them with us, Magy. Our deepest sympathy to all of you. Jack lived a good life and left a great legacy in his children and grandchildren. Please accept my condolences.
