I had the good fortune to have been not only a classmate but one of "Jack's" many girlfriends. I also had the good fortune to have been able to stay in touch for so many years later. Such unforgettable and good memories! Jack, may God continue to embrace you, Louise, and your loving family .

Jack was my first high school "boyfriend" and remained my dear friend following our graduation in 1943. So glad for e-mail and Facebook. What a privilege to have known him. My deepest sympathy to his family. May beautiful memories help them through this trying time and may God continue to bless them all.

Sue Ann:

Sorry for your loss. Your dad was one of a kind.

I think I drove your dad a little crazy when he taught me morse code for my ham radio license..... while WB2HYA may now be silent it will be remembered for years to come.

I still can recall the many conversations at the fire house I had with you dad. His service to the community was appreciated.
