Deb, James and Jennifer; Jack will surely be missed.I remember our last boat ride together,it was to take him out from the Lagoons and view your guys house from the water, he did enjoy that alot. I wish we would have stayed in closer touch more recently. Jack always had a nack for putting thing into the proper perspective. He surely will be missed.
James youve got a open invitation to hook up with me down at the Lagoons to fish and whatever. SNAFU

Deb, James & Jennifer; you are in my thoughts and prayers. I was so blessed to have Jack for a Brother-in-Law and friend. Jack will always be remembered for his LOVE of family; he was as much a Von Hof as a Cooper. As I reflect on the great times we had I can say I have a life time of memories to cherrish, some sad but mostly HAPPY. His laughter and sense of humor will be missed. Love you Jack!

I am so sorry to hear of Jacks passing, he was always so nice to me when he would visit us. We used to blow the horn on the boat and wave to him at his home as we were out boating. So sorry Jack, I will pray for you to be at peace and prayers to your family. Now you are with your dad again. RIP my friend. Cherish the memories and never forget!
