I had the pleasure of assisting MR.JACK, at times he did not want anything to eat, except when his brother Mr. Billy brought in bananas, he would lye in his bed and cross his legs and eat the banana like it was heaven sent, but he also was very particular on who he wanted to deal with, before my shift would end i would say "Goodnoght Jack" he would respond to me by saying "Goodnight Gal" with that crooked smurk on his face. He will truly be missed, and may God keep you all safe and closer than ever.
