Sorry to hear of Jacks loss. He ran the unit I was working at in 1974- 1975 and was a great leader. He will now remain in my thoughts and prayers.

Well, Grandpa I have learned many things from you in my life. I want to thank you again for everything you have done for me. When I play cribbage again it will most likely be with your great granddaughter. I will teach her as you taught me. State Line potato chips and 7-up! When I walk, you walk with me until we meet again. Keep that cribbage board open for we will leave off where we left. From Dorotka, Rylan, and Myself, Shine On!
