Jacob Barile

Jack was a kind and wise fellow who could innovate and encourage students of all ages. Jacksonville needed him and Jack made our city better.

Jack, you were a wonderful man and a pleasure to be around, always quick with a smile and a joke, you will be missed.

Our deepest sympathies to your family during this time of sorrow

We had many long distance phone calls but I am sorry the last one did not happen. I pray that you and Alice have had a joyful reunion. Love, Anne

Jodi and Family
