Jack, When your uncle Sam and I were going together and you were just a baby, we would take you to the park on Sundays and everyone thought you were our baby because you looked so much like your Uncle Sam. You will be missed by many and I love you.

At your wake tonight, I felt you there. I cried with tears of peace, friendship and more important respect. You will be missed by so many. You are a shining star now and looking down on your loving wife Joyce. Your family gave a great tribute to you tonight. I remember when you almost tricked me into eating turtle soup once at the campground. Memories, I will always have those to hold onto. Love, Peace and Prayers Janet McCann-Blakeslee

Jack, I am sorry that I cannot be there to say goodbye in person. You are a great Father, Grandfather, Great Grandfather and a mentor to many. You will forever remain in my heart with all of the memories and good times that we shared together along with many other friends and family. Catching too many fish to count. The look on your face when we had to let one go was priceless. Fishing in the Keys. All of the charters, and of course beloved deer season. With a heavy heart I say goodbye for...

A real man. I can see past mornings waking up and looking out the window of our trailer and seeing, Jack, Jim and Joe cleaning fish. We were getting up and they were already back from fishing. Pondarosa or Salems Farms, they were the fisherman. We will all be together again one day, watching you clean fish again. Safe in the arms of Jesus now. Love Janet and Jay. Lets not forget Gary
