Jack was a remarkable person. He loved life to the fullest and he adore his family and his friends he always spoked highly of his grand children especially the new born babies. I truly miss him dearly. I think about him every day when I go to work. It's not the same with our him. He loved people and I loved hearing his stories about his life. I enjoyed his company. My heart breaks for all his children and the totally family. By the grace of God Jack I truly miss you. I loved his laugh and just taking good care of him. He always said Connie you have done a great job. He adore the two blankets I gave him. He always told thank you for everything you do. I will never forget you jack. I was away on vacation when I heard he passed away. My heart is broken. There will be another jack. He was one of a kind . His heart was so big. My heart goes out for the entire family. RIP it's hard to walk by his room now. You think he's there but in reality he's really Gone. Life isn't fair. You will always have a special place in my heart. My condolences to everyone God bless you all. As they days go by he's watching over us now. I miss you love as always Connie Carter.
