Ruth,Kenny,and Tommy,

I am so very sorry that I learned of Jack's passing too late to attend the service.

Almost 60 years ago, Jack was my scoutmaster. He also was the first to teach me to drive a tractor and let me drive his tractor often. This is a pleasure that I have enjoyed my entire life and I still think of Jack when I am on my tractor. I can hear his booming bass singing voice as he plowed the field behind my parent's house at night.

Please know that your family has Lane and my deepest sympathy.
