You left us much too soon, my dear friend. Thank you for the care and kindness you gave to me and so many others. You are missed by many and will always have special place in my heart.
Rest peacefully, Jack.

Our 1st cousin Jack, we are so saddened here in Toronto, Ontario that you have been taken from us at a young age and miss so very much. You have left us more than you know. You found the lost Novak cousins because you did the DNA Ancestry test in August 2016. You will always hold a special place in our broken hearts. We love and miss you Jack.

Too soon, Jack! We had so much more to talk about. Thanks for the memories of camp outs, and Friday nights at the Guadalupe, and all your recommendations, and your final hugs and love to support me when you needed my support.

To a cousin I had recently found, wish there had been more time to get to know you. Now you are free of pain and rest in peace B"H.Maybe now you will once again be surrounded by our ancestors who have passed

We have lost a Peaceful Warrior. May the lights Jack lit among his family, friends, acquaintances and strangers glow brightly and shine through sorrow and grief.

To my dear cousin Jack...you have been taken away from us much too soon. We always had much to discuss about our families and ancestors. May you find peace my cousin and may God bless you forever....

He was a great man and I was honored to have had the chance to get to know him even if it was for a short time. Rest in peace.
