We are so sorry to hear aboutUncle Jack's passing. I found out today while checking online family history. My mother, his only living cousin, Barbara Hall Thatcher Williams, has been advised. She is 95 and living in Cleveland, Ohio. His book is so special that he sent to me.

Jack was a lovely man and I am glad I got to know him these last few years. He donated several boxes of his book to children in foster care and took the time to sign each one. It was always a treat to see Jack and Josie around town.
