Jack was our friend. He was a respected member of the Mariner Sands Country Club in coastal Stuart, FL. Jack loved life and he also had a passion for the card game "Bridge".
Jack organized some 30+ club members to play in a weekly bridge game here at Mariner Sands. Jack was always a gentleman and he will be dearly missed. Maybe there is a bridge game in heaven for Jack?

When you arrived at the Pearly Gates and God asked, "Jack, what did you accomplish while you were on earth?" You replied, "God, I created Brookwood." God said, "Yes, a bit of Heaven on earth. Good job Jack...welcome to Heaven."
