I was saddened to hear about Jack, and have many fond memories of him at Westwood Hill and when he remodeled my house. He was such a nice person, and fun to be around. Your family is in my thoughts and prayers.
"Absent from the body, present with the Lord." We will see him again one day - praise God!
