Thanks for the memories of good fishing and great friendship!
Even when times were tough -Jack's sense of humor carried the day. (when swamped and going down - he inquired of the ferry passengers passing by as he clung to his boat " does anyone have any Grey Poupon?" What a great man. He will be missed.

Jack and Family, all those years going up together on Michael Ave, like walking home from school and you had Deer hanging from the trees or the time you shot the squirrel and it landed on my back, you will be missed by all....
