I'm sorry for your loss. I knew Jack at St. Andrews Presbyterian Church. I lived with him for a time. He was a great, fun guy.

To my beautiful family: My heart aches for your loss. Your dad was definitely one-of-a-kind, and he loved you all so very much. I'm sending each of you my love, too. --Mom/Grammy/Great-Grammy
