I am so sorry for your loss. He was a wonderful father and grandfather. At least he is reunited with Jackie. She loved him so!

Uncle Jack was a great man. I loved spending time with him, Aunt Carlene, and Patrick when I was young on Peggy Place. All those awesome brunches at the Elks with our family. And visiting him at work with my Mom. He held a special place in everyone's heart. Love you all and be at peace knowing there is a someone looking down over you all the time.

Mom, Patrick and Jane - you are in my thoughts and prayers - so wish I could be there with you.
"Dad" was more of a father than a father in law. I loved him so very much. I know you are missing him terribly. He was such a kind and gentle man. There are so many wonderful memories of all the times we were together over the years. I find comfort knowing he is now with Steve, Jackie and Cathy and all of his beloved dogs. I know we all will be together one day. I love you all and am so sorry I cannot be there today with you. God will keep you in his care today and through the coming days.

Carlene, Jane and Patrick. You have our deepest sympathies upon Jack's passing. What a great time it was when we were all together as neighbors and friends. Over the years we have separated somewhat as neighbors but not as friends. We will miss Jack at the annual Peggy Place Memorial Day Breakfast, but he will not be forgotten.
