Uncle Jack will be missed and always remembered. He was always smiling and funny and loved his family and Aunt Arlene. Say hi to my Mom and Dad waiting for you in Heaven.

I was so saddened when I got the call from Aunt Arlene. Even tho we were miles away, I thought of Uncle Jack often...My biggest memory that I will never ever forget, Uncle Jack bought me my first pair of jeans...even tho they were Orange...they were still jeans...He felt sorry for me I guess that I didn't have any jeans to run around and play in when I was little...Love and will miss hearing your voice....Jan
