Mary,
I'm so sorry to hear about Jack. We'll sure miss him taking plants to our car and talking about going fishing at the coast when all the plants were sold. He was a good man and will be missed by many.
God bless you and your family.

To Mary and family, Charlie and I are both so sad to hear of Jack's passing. We are currently in Truth or Consequences, NM but get the Austin paper on our computer. That is where we learned about Jack. We will miss him too. Love you, Charlie and Jean
