Sorry to hear of Jacks passing. I met him twice while he lived here in Sheppton. He enjoyed talking about his uncle Paddy Brown, his Moms side I believe, that had a strip-mine operation on the West end of the mountain on which the town of Sheppton is sitting. He promised to share a old photo he had of the operation, but failed to connect with me, before he moved to Hazle Township.
Rest easy Jack.
