Not sure what to say?

As I recall Jack was the band leader his senior year. I did not know him well at Howe. However, we connected a few years ago to raise money for the school in an effort to help keep it viable.

Marian, Our heartfelt prayers are with you and families for comfort. We knew Jack from the family reunions at Duck Lake these past years, and treasured Jack's conversations and friendly way that always made it a memorable time together. He will be missed by so many; we hope that treasured memories will keep Jack in our hearts always. Peace and Comfort, Zane and Catherine Cole

Dear Marian, we were so sorry to hear of Jack's death. I still remember you and Jack giving us a ride to Bonita Springs. It was so kind of you, and we had a wonderful chat. May these and many memories sustain you in this difficult time. May Peace Be With YOU.

Thank you John for your many years of service to veteran causes through your membership in the Legion and also your continued service to America as a business and community leader.

Dear Marian, We were saddened to hear of the loss of Jack. We have fond memories of him when we visited with him at all your lovely parties. We also send our sympathy to Charlie and the rest of the Wattles family.

Marian, we send our deepest sympathy to you and your family, you are in our thoughts and prayers at this sad time. I vividly recall a conversation with Jack at the last Wednesday Tuckaweye gathering I attended...we are on the same side of the aisle, which of course made our time together very enjoyable...I will miss that. With sincere condolences, Joe and Kay.

Dear Marian, we are so very sorry to hear about the passing of Jack. We will miss him at our Wednesday night socials in Tuckaweye. You are in our thoughts and prayers.

Dear Marian, How sorry I was to learn of Jack's passing. I am sure that you have many memories that will sparkle in your heart. My sincere sympathy to you and your entire family. You all are in my thoughts and prayers at this sad time.

Jack? Was a compass and guiding light for our entire family throughout his long and loving life. We miss him terribly. Here is my dad with Jack & Marian at just one of the many parties at Gull Lake that we shared over all these years. Love and prayers to all the family I can just hear Jack and my mother Mary laughing & talking together up in Heaven and know that we now all have 2 guardian angels
