Jack, is what everyone knew him by. he was a loving caring sincere man who couldnt stop loving his family and doing eveything he could to help them out. jack could have been the most quiet guy you would have ever known but once you really got to know him he was quick on the jokes and funny very funny.he also loved his like 7 cups of coffee everyday he never really drank which is a great characteristic of him that i think peopled admired him for doing. although he wasnt always home with the family as much as we'd like him to be it didnt matter, because as long as he was out golfing or doing what ever he was enjoying himself. every sunday may dad ( Jack ) would take me down to Skate Palace ( now Pinz ) and go skating he would teach me how to do turns on my rollerblades but that never worked but we always had a good laugh. whenever he was home with the family he would spend time with his kids and wife watching golfing or ice skating or even believe it or not watching a movie and eating a whole carton of Brigams strawberry ice cream. everyone at least i think knew and liked my dad because he was so generous to other people and wasnt greedy. he was a great man and we will all truely miss him

xoxoxox love you dad
love melissa ( my little girl )
