My dear Jack, 6 years later I still miss you as much as I did that day you took your last breath. I still love you as much too. You will never be forgotten. Forever's As Far As I'll Go. Debby.

Jack, it´s been 5 years since we said "Until we meet again & I love you". I miss you still so much. Now you have our special cat-kid Berto with you. I hope that the two of you are taking care of one another. I know you are the stars that twinkle in the night and the moon that glows so bright, the raindrops that caress my cheeks, and the rainbows that sweeten my weeks. You´re always around and I remember you always. Love, Debby.

4 years have passed and I miss you today as much today as then. My memories go back from our first kiss to our last. Until we meet again, Jack, I´ll always love you.

It´s been 3 years since you gained your Angel Wings, and I miss you the same as that very first day. So many things I wish you were here to share with me, but I know you are watching over me and in a way are seeing them. Some people think that love fades with time, but my love for you is still strong, just like the day we married. I´ll love you forever, and until we meet again, May God hold you in the palm of His hand. Love you always, Debby

As the days passed into years, I still miss you so much. So much has changed in the 2 years since you went away but not my love for you. I can no longer see you with my eyes but my heart feels you forever. In my heart, in God’s arms. I love you forever and always, your one and only, Debby

I had the privilege of meeting Jack as he came for a meal at my home, and participated in my APBA Baseball Tournament in March of 2019. He talked of God's goodness and grace to help him face cancer. I played against him in the Tournament and he beat me. He was so looking forward to participating in next year's tourney and being part of all the festivities.

So very sorry on the loss of your beloved husband Jack. I will always remember his strong will and words that cancer will not dictate his life. His love of the Detroit Lions and most importantly how he loved you!

I first met Jack during a Detroit Tigers live blog (on MLive) during the 2015 season. What struck me initially was his wonderful sense of humor. I was a newbie to the groupand he was so gracious and welcoming when I first arrived. Over time, we would discover we shared more than just an interest in sports. We were also LP/CD/cassette collectors, hat collectors and even had a mutual interest in sports board games. Jack had so many friends on MLiveand then later on our Pistonville sports...

So sorry for your loss Debbie. While we can't make the funeral, you will be in our thoughts and prayers. Jack was a great guy and will be missed. Love you! In Christian love, Jim and Sally Fountain.
