Jack Dare SAAD Jr.

Sad news. I just found out he had died by reading his obituary today. He lived in only a block away and we were very close friends growing up in Spokane. I moved far away a long time ago and we have been out of touch for a few years. But I did visit him in Seattle when Lynne was still alive.
