Not sure what to say?

Such a fine man and real gentleman he always displaced himself and a real pleasure to be around. A devoted man to his family. Heavens gain.

We are so glad we had the pleasure of knowing Jack. "Karen" and I will miss him greatly. Our prayers are with all of you.

Jack was a friend to everyone. I never saw him that he wasn't smiling and in a good mood. He will be missed by many.

Jack always left me feeling like a special person, he had a heart of gold and a sense of humor that never failed to make me laugh. I will miss Jack mainly because he was a "GOOD MAN".

Jack was a very good friend to our family, we will miss him dearly.

My Dad was a very special man and made a lot of "good buddies" during his lifetime. He is now with our Mother who he has missed greatly for over 16 years. We will celebrate his life and be grateful for the many sacrifices he made for our country, especially when he was a Prisoner of War. Thanks so much to those of you who have shared your special memories of him. He will be missed by many whose paths he crossed during his time on this earth but especially his family.

I have LOST A GOOD FRIEND indeed! My sympathy goes to all the family ! Jack and I shared many happy moments at Harry's when I would see Him when I was visiting Lakeland from my home in Thailand !

Love to All

Our thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.

Uncle Jack,
Manny and I will really miss your sense of humor and war stories. You were a good uncle. When I was little, you would always give us $1 each and that was a treat. When I was a teenager and you came to Orlando to visit, you would give me the keys to your latest brand new Cadillac to take for a drive. Somehow I always brought the car back in one piece. You came to all my graduations and gave me good advice which I didn't always follow. Much love, your niece Debbie and...
