Dear Jack

I didn't get to know you for very long but what I did I loved. You were always sweet and kind. I hope you are at peace and that there's lots of baseball games in heaven.

P.S. I was honored to have your last dance.

What a great Uncle you were to me. Every time I came to Phoenix you made time for me and treated me to dinner. When ever I wrote you a letter I knew I would get a letter back from you within days. How loyal you were. I will miss our visits in Phoenix and your letters. You were very special to me.

Uncle Jack:



One measure of our lives is our children. You leave us with two wonderful children that loved you, and supported you. I have great memories of your humor and love of sports.



Love; Alan, Karen and Shannon



PS- Earl Monroe was a better NBA player than Walt Frazier. We never settled this arguement!

Jack,

Even though you weren't Bryson's grampa,like my other boy's, Tyler & Kyle, you still treated him that way.

If I received only one birthday card in the mail every year, it was from you. That's the KIND of man you were. In my heart always,

April (Tyler,Kyle & Bryson's mom)
