I only met Jack when he was 95, but he impressed me even then of what a great guy he was. He had a loving family who surrounded him with love and purpose. I am glad I had a chance to know him even though briefly. May he rest in God's loving arms peacefully.

John & Jere, My condolences to both of you. I have fond memories of your Dad from back in the 1960’s when my Dad & Mom would visit Jack and Pearl. You Dad was awesome, had a great sense of humor. Regards, John Ringhoffer

I met Jackie at No 2 Machine shop many moons ago. He always had an interesting story to tell about some hit & miss engine he found or was working on. We regularly would visit Jacky and Don Mench at the antique engine shows & always it was a joy to touch base with them. See you's there again someday!

I have so many fond memories of Uncle Jack from my childhood. Summers at the cabin on the Delaware are some of my favorites. We played cards & games & laughed until we cried.
He was such a good sport ,genuinely kind ,& truly fun to be around.
He lived a blessed life & may he rest in peace. My warmest thoughts & prayers are with you all.
