Not sure what to say?

I know its been a few years since Jack passed away. I just found out as I was thinking about my friends when I was in the Womens Army Corps. as of May, 1965. I was stationed at Ft. Sam Houston, San Antonio, Texas when I met Jack. We were there at the same time. I was a Medic and he was with Special Forces and taking his Medical training as well. There was a group of us who became good friends back then and as Army Buddues we were all close. Being in the Military isnt as it is in regular life....

To Jack's Family,
Jack and I we boy scouts at St. Patrick's. We studied Karate together during the 60's and hit Reader's a lot. We were very close. I have fond memories of him. What a life we shared. Great times.
