Not sure what to say?

It was a pleasure to know Jack and to share wine with him going back to Wine and Roses days. We will miss him. Lynn, sorry for your loss. Richard Stinson

Jack - thank you for serving our country with your courage and leadership, thank you for easing the way for so many people and animals who needed it, and thank you for moving mountains in the global effort to finish cancer. Our world is forever changed for the better because of you. My deepest condolences to Lynn and all who loved Jack.
