Dear Roberts Family,
So sorry to hear of Jack's passing. I have many fond memories of Jack during the 1960's when we worked on the Burns Harbor Project. I can see him now, sitting in the rear seat of the early morning flights we took from ABE to Pittsburgh. Laughing and joking with us all, he made our lives a little brighter. You are in our thoughts and prayers.

Dear Rosemary,
Although Father Time and distance have dimmed our relationship, I think of Jack often. He was a special person and Lois and I share your grief. May you and your family have many happier days ahead.
Lois and John Rodgers
