Jack was one of the nicest people I ever knew. I spoke with him fairly often during my 28 years working in the front office at Rich Products. Everybody liked Jack. I am sorry for the loss to his family and many friends. I always wondered how he planted and maintained all those tomato plants and corn while working a full-time job at Rich's. RIP Jack. My condolences to the family.

So sorry for loss. Praying for you guys during this tough time.
