May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.
We will always remember our Saturday lunches at Noriega's where Jean's quick wit and warm smile would add so much to the day.
We all will miss his warm and positive personality. May Jean rest in a well earned peace.

I’m so sorry to hear about Jean’s passing. Jean did my sprinker system. I would run into Jean time to time after that and always the same big smile and happy greeting. He always had the time to chat and I always left smiling. Jean will be greatly missed. My condolences to his family.
