Was terribly saddened to hear of the demise of Jack W. Parrent, Jr. We met only several years ago at the offices of JJMA,INC. and became immediate friends. I thoroughly enjoyed our noon-hour lunches at the various eateries in the area while listening to the accomplishments of his twin daughters, Jessica and Paige. No two girls could ever have had a father who loved them more or was more proud of them. Rest in peace, dear friend.
