Jack was a good friend and one hell of a nice guy. I was so happy to be a part of his last years on this earth. I went to Canada last September with Jack (his last trip up North). We had a great time. My fondest memory was him & I heading out to the (honeyhole) & nailing some nice Northern Pike & smallmouth bass. It was his last fishing trip on this earth & I will always cherish that memory. (Of course he caught more then I did. I,ll miss you Jack.

We will miss our foursome pinochle games and awesome fish fry's! You will always be in our prayers. God Bless!

Jack was one of the really good guys. Regret we never made our planned fishing trip together. He was a fine competitor on the racquetball court. Many will miss him. Ed Crabtree
