Not sure what to say?

Having just received late word and to the immediate family who have lost a very precious person. My deepest and sincere thoughts and prayers go out to you in this time of need. I got to know Jack while working at AMP. While working on a joint project, (one of many) and talking at lunch one day we discovered we grew up together and lived only two blocks from each other in Shamokin. Although Jack was older our paths were meant to cross years later. I have many fond memories working with Jack...

Cheryl and family,
We're sorry for your loss but we all know he's in a better place with no more pain. Our prayers are with you.

Cheryl and family,
I am sorry for your loss of a proud husband and father. I had worked with Jack at AMP before we both retired. Jack was a very benevolent and caring person as well as an excellent engineer. He was the consummate professional and a perfectionist. His compassion for his fellow workers was always a priority in everything he did. He will be missed by all of us that knew and worked with him. My prayers are with you and your family.

Prayers out to my cousins families. Jack has been reborn into a new life and we will all see him again one day.

Cheryl, so sorry to hear. No matter when it happens, it is never easy

Cheryl,
Thinking of you and praying for you & the family in this time of loss. We will miss Jack but know that he is now celebrating at the feet of Jesus. We love you.

Dear Cousins and Cheryl. It seems strange that with the passing of Uncle Jack, all of my uncles are gone. Mom has been gone since 1975 and I miss her just as much today as I did then. I know in my heart that there is a wonderful reunion going on; Mom, Uncle Lloyd, Grandma, Uncle Bill, Uncle Dick and now Uncle Jack are all together again. Please know that our prayers and thoughts are with all of you.

Our hearts are sad today. Jack (known in our house as "Uncle" Jack) will always have a huge place in our hearts and our children's hearts. The love he showered upon our girls is something we will NEVER forget. Uncle Jack was one of the first people to hold Lilli at the airport when we arrived home from adopting her from Vietnam. Our girls would see Uncle Jack at church and run to him and just love on him (and he on them). We will miss you Uncle Jack. You will never truly understand just how...

Cheryl and family,
We are praying for you and your family through this sad time. Jack loved his family and he knew you loved him!
